The last time Simpson, 45, attended the MTV show was in 2006 where she served as a presenter. On Sunday, Simpson presented Ricky Martin with the first-ever Latin Icon Award. 

She told the crowd at the UBS Arena that she was having a “full circle moment,” having opened for Martin in 1999 on his “Livin’ la Vida Loca” tour.
