The night kicked off with Nicki Minaj’s performance of her hit single “ The Night Is Still Young” alongside Taylor Swift, as they sang out their recent twitter beef with each other on stage. It brought people to their feet and had them singing every lyric by heart. It doesn’t just end there for Minaj, she also won Best Hip-Hop Video with her song Anaconda. In her acceptance speech she thanked friends, family, and also called out Miley Cyrus for the recent negative comments towards her. Moving on to the other awards, 5 Seconds of Summer won Song of the Summer, Taylor Swift won Best Female Video and Big Sean ft. Kanye West and John Legend won Video with a Social Message. Performances by Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Pharrell and The Weeknd continued and brought life and energy with every different performance . Afterwards, Kanye West had plenty of things to say during his speech as he accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
“I still don’t understand award shows. I don’t understand how they get five people who worked their entire life one sold records, sold concert tickets, to come stand on a carpet and for the first time in their life be judged on a chopping block and have the opportunity to be considered a loser. I don’t understand it, brah. I don’t understand when the biggest album and the biggest video… I’ve been conflicted, bro!” said West.
After Kanye’s memorable speech he also announced that in 2020 he’s decided to run for president. From politics to awards, Newcomer Fetty Wap won Artist to Watch. This award gives an insight on a hot ticket rapper who could make it big. Each time Cyrus came on stage, her outfits were anything but normal. Her outfits included a thin strapped silver barbella style suit covering a portion of her body paired with matching knee high boots, sleek white holey ensemble that resembled a six pack plastic bottle holder, and a lgbtq inspired crayon box outfit that made her appropriated dreads really pop. In the later half of the show, performances by Twenty One Pilots with A$AP Rocky and Tori Kelly gave a different perspective on what it means to enjoy life on the big stage.
In addition to the throwback set style of the 2015 VMAs, Cyrus really captured the audience’s attention. To finish off the show, Miley did her own version of a performance that involved a lot of drug paraphernalia and a variety of drag queens.
