Rihanna, Beyoncé and more Rihanna! The VMAs were jam-packed with big names and performances, so of course I was all over it. Here are the thoughts I had during the show:
Why does DJ Khaled have to be hosting the VMAs this year?
Rihanna’s dancers are straight FIRE.
Is she lip syncing? Lame, she’s supposed to be the Vanguard.
Oh shit nevermind, now she’s singing, get it girly!
Okay, why is she grabbing her crotch??
I’m low key waiting for Drake to come on stage with Rihanna right now. (Let’s hope.)
I just saw Nick Jonas in that chevron jacket and I am sweating.
Why is Nicole Byer my spirit animal though?
I knew Drake would win Best Hip Hop Video for Hotline Bling tbh no one else stood a chance.
Hailee Steinfield is so gorgeous, her outfit is AMAZING.
I feel like if Ariana Grande stopped wearing her hair in high ponytails, she wouldn’t look 15.
Why are they on bikes?? None of these dancers look like they even know how to work out.
OH SHIT IT’S NICKI Y’ALL BACK UP.
WTF was that ending though, I am uncomfortable.
Alicia Keys looks like she’s not wearing an ounce of makeup and I’m so here for it, she looks flawless. And that acapella performance?? YES, GIRL.
TROYE SIVAN IS AN ANGEL.
Calvin beat Kanye for Best Male Video? My jaw is on the floor. I’m glad, Kanye can take a step down for once.
Calvin please shade Taylor, you know that’s what we all want, GIVE IT TO US.
Michael Phelps knows what’s up, talking about his meme from Rio. Quality content.
Okay who the hell is Future?
Why does Kanye West need to introduce himself as if no one knows who he is?
Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when Kanye smiles or is it just me?
4 minutes??? More like 20.
THE SHADE KANYE IS THROWING RN DAMN I’M LIVING.
What even was that video? I suddenly feel bad for eating this entire bag of potato chips.
Rihanna again??? Can she actually sing a little more, I’ll be happy if she does?
Ansel Elgort is so pretty. I’m not crying, you are.
Me: sees Nick and Joe Jonas together
Me: is having Jonas Brothers war flashbacks.
Nick’s tight leather pants are a blessing, I’d like to thank not only God, but Jesus for this moment.
Beyoncé’s performance: singing or a magic act? Where did those dancers come from!?!
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? Shattered cameras? Flames? Bey, who hurt you? I need to know.
Okay, why does DJ Khaled have shoes around his neck now? That’s not even a look.
Fifth Harmony beat out Beyoncé, Drake and Rihanna? How did this happen and why?
Britney is still relevant?
G-EAZY DAYUM BAE.
He’s so tall and gorgeous send help.
I suddenly wish I was Britney Spears tbh this is hot, hot, hot.
Britney is clearly lip syncing Me, Myself and I and I’m disappointed.
thAT WINK I AM ON THE FLOOR.
These athletes make me feel like a failure, their muscles just show through those cute ass dresses, meanwhile, I haven’t been to the gym since 2010.
Beyoncé is just raking in all the awards and I’m not even the least bit surprised.
Rihanna again? Honestly, why? I know she’s the Vanguard but she needs to ACTUALLY SING if she keeps taking the stage.
Where’s Halsey and Troye, I need them in my life rn.
Fifth Harmony remind me of those girls in high school that used to plan their outfits for school so they “accidentally” match.
DNCE won bless tf up, that’s Joe my BABYYY.
For real though, Joe Jonas is so pretty what did the world do to deserve him omg.
TROYE yes cutie!! He is a literal angel.
Oh my god, He’s introducing Halsey…this is something I didn’t know I needed until now.
HALSEY MY QUEEN I AM NOT WORTHY.
Can you believe Halsey invented music though, LISTEN TO HER.
She’s rocking underboob so hard rn and I don’t blame Drew for wanting to be all over her.
Drew is so hot, Halsey is so hot, this performance is too much rn I need to open a window.
Jimmy Fallon shading Ryan Lochte–yesssss what a legend.
Damn, I def thought Kanye had this award in the bag for Famous, but I’m not even mad that he didn’t win.
Rihanna????? IS THIS THE VMAs OR HER CONCERT.
They’ve only announced like 4 awards?
DRAKEEEEEEE.
Omg he’s giving Rihanna her award I’m gonna cry. THIS SPEECH.
Did he just confess his love for her? IT’S A FULL-ON WATERFALL OVER HERE RIGHT NOW OMG.
Ugh. I already can’t wait until next year.
