Posted on Mon Aug 28th, 2017 6:33am PDT By X17 Staff
The MTV Video Music Awards rocked, as usual, and we've compiled some of the highlights in case you missed the show or in case you just wanna relive the best moments!
Man of the night, Kendrick Lamar, killed the opening with his ninja-inspired, firey performance ...
Ed Sheeran collab'd with Lil Uzi Vert???!!! NO ONE expected this ...
Fifth Harmony dissed former member Camilla Cabello in the first minute of their performance ... did you catch it?
Miley went retro with her performance of "Younger Now" ...
Lorde showed off her dancing skillz??? Or was she commenting on the requirement of record labels and fans that their pop stars be dancers and minstrel along to their songs in bad choreography and that's just not who she is?
Katy Perry performed a highly-polished "Swish Swish" with Nicki Minaj ...
Khalid proved he's a force to reckon with and he did it his own way. Our new favorite 19 year-old!!!
Oh, and Taylor Swift didn't bother to show up but she debuted her highly-panned music video for her highly-panned new single "Look What You Made Me Do." Note to TSwiz: next time you hype something so much, it better pay off for fans!
And on a serious note ... the late Heather Hyer, a protester against white supremacists in Charlottesville who was killed by a driver who plowed into demonstrators, was represented by her amazing mother Susan Bro in an emotional and uplifting speech that honored those who use their voice to speak out against injustice ...
