At her first Video Music Awards in 2008, she poses alongside former BFF (and current arch nemesis) Katy Perry and a similarly innocent looking Miley Cyrus.

In a new interview with the New York Times – ostensibly about Cyrus’ surprise new record “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Pets”, which she debuted online after Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards – the singer said Swift’s circle of “musicians, actresses, models, entrepreneurs” isn’t her style. Cyrus then stumbled over her words as she tried to read from cue cards about voting for the artist to watch award. Because it’s no big deal. And she called the rapper her friend.
While Swifty and the “Anaconda” rapper appeared to be on good terms again after opening the show together, Minaj turned her fury on Cyrus.
To make this even better, Taylor has pledged to donate all the proceeds from the video to “wild animal conservation efforts through the African Parks Foundation of America”, as announced at the end of it. She snagged both Best Pop Video and Female Video.
Justin Bieber returned to the big stage with slick dance moves to his hit “Where Are U Now” and new single, “What Do You Mean“.
We aren’t sure, but if the whole thing looked a bit familiar, it may be because you are remembering Chris Brown doing something similar during his performance at the BET Awards in 2010 following all the bad press he got after assaulting Rihanna. And Demi Lovato brought a sexy vibe when she sang her anthemic “Cool for the Summer” outdoors with background dancers wearing bright colors that added to the song’s summer-feel.
Cyrus brushed it off with a smile and continued hosting the award’s show, but Minaj didn’t let it go that easily. She took a selfie with people in the audience and asked them to yell: “Marijuana”.

And if you thought she was scantily clad before the show in her barely there, sparkly Versace ensemble, you missed during the show when she was backstage changing, had the curtain dropped too low and showed all types of nipple.
