No stranger to taking streetwear styles to the next level, the “Needed Me” singer proved once again she’s the queen of turning any place into a runway.
Rihanna herself shed light on achieving the musical American Dream as a foreigner: “All I could think of was my country …”
Nine years ago, Britney was heavily criticised for her out-of-sync VMAs performance at a time when her personal and professional life was falling apart.
Kanye West, as promised, had his time slot during this year’s VMAs to do or say whatever he wanted and he spoke his mind about the industry and his own music before he premiered the music video for his song “Fade”. Rihanna thanked her family, friends and hometown of Saint Michael in Barbados for helping her succeed throughout her 11-year-career.
This high profile political statement certainly made a big impression on social media. You know, just to put… the audacity to put Anna Wintour right next to Donald Trump.

Beyonce took home video of the year and best female video – and also delivered a show-stopping 16-minute performance of tracks from her hit album Lemonade. “He’s so sweet!”, she added about rapper Eazy.
Beyonce had a large entourage with her on the red carpet including the mothers of gun violence victims in the United States such as Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin who was killed by a neighbourhood watch volunteer in 2012.

Calvin Harris won best male video – beating West’s “Famous” – for “This is What You Came For”, which featured Rihanna and was co-written with former girlfriend Swift.
