VMA's or BeyMA's?

The Video Music Awards were recently held on August 24th, 2014. Performers from Taylor Swift to Nicki Minaj were there along with other actors and actresses. I personally was waiting for Taylor Swift to give Harry Styles another "shout out" like last year, but sadly, she didn't.

Miley Cyrus’s announcement really shocked us all I believe. We all know her as the queen of twerk, but this was a total surprise. I think we all choked up a little when she did.

I’m sure everyone heard Taylor when she said; “people get bitten by snakes” during her performance of “Shake it Off” when she was going to “jump”. What was she talking about? Nicki Minaj’s performance of “Anaconda” speaks for itself, but what does it say for the dancers? One of the dancers performing “Anaconda” was bitten by a snake during practice, and still performed. The show must go on I suppose.

 Recently, there has been a lot of talk of a possible split between Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Queen Bey seems to be putting those rumors to rest through social media without addressing the problem directly, but watching Jay-Z and Blue Ivy award Beyoncé the annual Video Vanguard Award was absolutely adorable. This cute family sure knows how to wrench out the hearts of many, because everyone’s heart was in the moment along with Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and little Blue.

Speaking of Beyoncé, I think it’s safe to say the VMA’s were more of a Beyoncé concert than an award show. Beyoncé performed for about 17 minutes straight at the “VMA’s” unlike any other performer. She performed an excerpt of each song on her new album and the audience whether watching it at home or being there live, loved it. Beyoncé says it best, “Bow down”. During the show, we saw many performers sporting the leotard look but as always, Bey wore it best. The rainbow jewel encrusted leotard put everyone else to shame in my opinion.
