Get your metro card ready because the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards are returning to Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Voting is now live!!!! We can hardly wait until August 20th for all the explosive performances, unexpected celebrity appearances, and surprises in store. Did we mention that global superstar Jennifer Lopez is our Video Vanguard Honoree? The Bronx native will be accepting her award and performing some of her greatest hits live on stage! Until then, let’s kick back and revisit last year’s show. Kendrick Lamar's fiery medley of "DNA." and "HUMBLE." where he LITERALLY set the stage ablaze, had everyone singing along as he opened the show. Then Katy Perry arrived to host in a space suit floating in the air. The ladies of Fifth Harmony showered the stage with an epic performance of "Down" and "Angel" featuring Gucci Mane, and Normani Kordei's jaw dropping split. Miley Cyrus, a hosting alum, performed "Younger Now", taking on a whole new look and sound which made for the perfect VMA comeback. Later that night, Logic, Alessia Cara, and Khalid sang their emotional suicide prevention anthem on stage and brought awareness to issues of mental health as well as the fight for equality. There were also show-stopping performances from Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato, DNCE, Rod Stewart, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Shawn Mendes, Gucci Mane, Julia Michaels, Alessia Cara and KYLE. Video Vanguard P!nk completely transformed the VMA stage with a medley of her biggest hits, then accepted her award with a powerful speech about individuality and self-acceptance inspired by her daughter Willow, reminding those watching to be their true selves. Stay tuned for more announcements about this year’s show!

She didn't say "the world is bullshit" she said
I don't get why people get so defensive about it. All she said was that it isn't worth modeling your life about pop tendencies, because it is ephemeral. People should be more genuine, like her!
Fiona Apple is a real one. And Fetch the Bolt Cutters is heckin iconic.
I remember this. Homegirl made a bold move at the top of her success. She didn't wait until her career started to fizzle out. That's when you know it's real.
her indifference to fame is what is keeping me alive at this point
“Man... it’s good bye” I love her 😭
"Don't model your life after us...…...go with yourself". Don't try to be someone you're not, just because you think that others think it's cool. Coming from someone who is a part of the Hollywood culture, those words are HUGE, and they are what many, many youth and young adults need to hear. This girl was incredibly brave to make this speech. And when you hear her say "it's stupid that I'm in this world", you know her self esteem has already been badly damaged by the Hollywood money-making machine.
After all these years, I still don't get what was so controversial about her speech. She was right, and she's always been so honest and raw (just pay attention to her lyrics - and BTW, she is one of the best lyricists out there, and criminally underrated). She really practices what she preaches and she's not afraid to say the truth...
She's the kind of person i would like to enjoy a evening talking about life.
@MTV she didn't say "the world is bullshit," she said "this world is bullshit." and by that she meant YOU. <3
If this is the worst thing anybody can say you did, I think your doing pretty good
it's wild that y'all post this to self promote, when back in the day you and the rest of music media threw her under the bus for it. just goes to show what a mediocre profit machine MTV's always been versus the extraordinary machine that is Fiona Apple.
20 years before her time.
this cured my depression
“And it’s just stupid that I’m in this world, but you’re all very cool to me”
The best speech, no fake bull
I want to dissect every sentence in this iconic speech.
This is a fantastic speech. The mindset behind those words was beyond her time. If she had said this about 15 years later, everyone would have been commending her for being so honest.
Damn. These words still ring true today with the social media influencer bs.
same energy as daria's graduation speech
