The Video Music Awards aired Sunday night and overall the show was just okay (it was missing Rihanna, Beyonce, Adele, and some more big-time celebs), but there were a couple of standout moments (and, Katy Perry hosting this year was not one of them).
I almost didn't recognize Muva's new look with that new wig on her head.
Kendrick Lamar opened this year's show, performing "Humble" and "DNA" off of his latest album, DAMN. Kendrick slayyyyed the stage AND the rapper also took home six VMA's, including the biggest award of the night, "Video of the Year."
Very well deserved!
Check out Kendrick Lamar's opening performance here.
Taylor Swift made her return to the music world this week and she's releasing a new album, Reputation, on Nov. 10.
Taylor released a new song "Look What You Made Me Do" and the video premiered at the VMA's last night. Peeps are saying Taylor is mocking Kim Kardashian's Paris robbery in her new video.
In the song, the singer says the old Taylor is dead. She also sings, “I don’t like your little games/Don’t like your tilted stage." Well, peeps are saying this is most likely a reference to the tilted stage that Kanye West showcased on his “Saint Pablo” world tour.
Remember Taylor was mad over Kanye's "Famous" lyrics last year which included the line: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.”

Without mentioning Kimye specifically, Taylor talks about having a “list of names,” contemplates karma and even hints at retribution (“I got mine, but you’ll all get yours”). Oop!
Watch Taylor Swift's new video here.
Remember when Nicki said the now-infamous line: "Miley, what's good!?" at the VMA's two years ago? Well, Remy Ma just brought that line back and made it her own.
Ever since that "Shether" murder, these two rappers have been going at it with the song subliminal's and shade. Well, Remy is back at it again and she said on the VMA's earlier: "Nicki, what's good?"
