The VMAs have always been a night full of unforgettable moments and this year is no exception. With the most talented musicians from all over the world gathering at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, it's no surprise that the excitement is building up for the upcoming MTV Music Video Awards on Wednesday.
The lineup of performers is nothing short of amazing, with names like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, Halsey, Megan Thee Stallion, and LL Cool J taking the stage. But all eyes are on Taylor Swift, who leads the pack with an impressive 10 nominations and will be competing against other heavyweights like Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Eminem, and Beyonce for the top prizes.
As we eagerly wait for another fantastic ceremony, let's take a moment to revisit some of the most outrageous and legendary moments in VMAs history. From iconic performances to shocking interruptions, the VMAs have never failed to surprise us.
Who can forget the infamous kiss between Britney Spears and Madonna in 2003? Joined by Christina Aguilera, the three queens of pop gave a jaw-dropping performance of "Like A Virgin" that ended with Madonna planting a kiss on both Britney and Christina. The audience and viewers at home were left in a frenzy, and Madonna even teased the possibility of a reenactment in the future.
In 2009, Kanye West caused a stir when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the best video award. He infamously declared that Beyonce deserved the award instead, leaving everyone in shock. Although they briefly made amends in 2015, their friendship didn't last long, and Taylor even referenced the incident in her recent tour.
The drama continued in 2017 when Fifth Harmony performed at the VMAs after Camila Cabello left the group. Their performance of "Down" was filled with shade, as they appeared on stage with five members before one was "thrown off." Fans were quick to speculate about the identity of the fallen member, adding more fuel to the drama.
Miley Cyrus has become a staple at the VMAs, but her performance in 2013 left a lasting impact. Singing "We Can't Stop" with Robin Thicke, Miley shocked the world with her provocative twerking and revealing outfit. Reflecting on the backlash, Miley shared that it inspired her to use her platform for a greater purpose.
And who can forget Nicki Minaj's iconic "Miley, what's good?" moment in 2015? After Miley made some comments about Nicki in an interview, Nicki called her out on stage during her acceptance speech. The phrase "Miley, what's good?" has since become a popular meme and will forever live in our minds.
With so many wild and unforgettable moments, we can't wait to see what the VMAs have in store for us this year. Stay tuned for another night of music, drama, and excitement.
We have been fortunate enough to witness some unforgettable moments, all thanks to the VMAs. The highly anticipated MTV Music Video Awards are just around the corner, set to take place on Wednesday at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Music icons from all around are gearing up to attend, hoping to walk away with a prestigious trophy.
The stage is set for an amazing lineup of performances, with artists like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, Halsey, Megan Thee Stallion, and LL Cool J all set to take the stage. One of the biggest names to watch out for is Taylor Swift, who leads the nominations with a whopping 10 nods. She's up against other heavy hitters like Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Eminem, and Beyonce, making it a night filled with stiff competition.
With all the signs pointing towards another exciting and eventful ceremony, we thought it would be the perfect time to take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about some of the wildest and most iconic moments in VMAs history.
It's been nearly two decades, but we still can't forget the infamous kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears – with Christina Aguilera also joining in on the action – at the 2003 VMAs. The Queen of Pop surprised the audience by making a cameo during Britney and Christina's performance of "Like a Virgin," and the rest is history. The moment sparked a frenzy and has since become one of the most talked-about moments in MTV history. In fact, Madonna even hinted at a possible reunion during an Instagram live session, saying, "Me and Britney, what about that? It would be really cool. We could reenact the original kiss." Oh, the anticipation!
Who can forget the unforgettable moment when Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Video in 2009, declaring that Beyonce should have won instead? The incident left everyone in shock and disbelief, with Taylor standing awkwardly beside him as he made his statement. Although they seemed to have reconciled when Taylor presented Kanye with the Video Vanguard Award in 2015, their relationship took a turn for the worse soon after. Taylor's recent Eras tour seemed to include some jabs at the rapper, reigniting their feud once again.
Fifth Harmony's performance at the 2017 VMAs was the talk of the town, especially after Camila Cabello's sudden departure from the group. While the remaining members – Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and Normani Kordei – had previously released a statement expressing their disappointment over how things were handled, they put on a show-stopping performance of "Down" a few months later. Fans were quick to notice that the group initially appeared as five members, before one of them was "thrown off" the stage. The speculation about the identity of that "fallen" member was enough to keep social media buzzing for days.
Miley Cyrus is no stranger to making headlines at the VMAs, and her performance in 2013 was no exception. The singer shocked the world with her risqué performance of "We Can't Stop," which saw her twerking on Robin Thicke in a nude PVC two-piece. While the performance received intense scrutiny, Miley has since reflected on the moment, saying, "Not only was culture changed, but my life and career were changed forever. It inspired me to use my platform for something much bigger. If the world is going to focus on me and what I am doing, then what I am doing should be impactful and it should be great."
Last but certainly not least, who could forget the infamous "Miley, what's good?" moment between Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus at the 2015 VMAs? The "Anaconda" rapper took the opportunity during her acceptance speech to call out Miley for some comments she had made about her in the press. The iconic line has since become a pop culture reference and will forever live rent-free in our minds.
With all the wild and unforgettable moments the VMAs have given us over the years, we can't wait to see what this year's ceremony has in store for us. Get ready for another night of epic performances, shocking wins, and maybe even a few scandals – after all, it wouldn't be the VMAs without a little bit of drama.
