So glad to be reminded.

1. Britney Spears changed out of a tuxedo and into a nude sparkling ensemble.

MTV

Two of the most polar opposite outfits and she rocked both?

2. Beyoncé was shown in the audience cheering enthusiastically.

MTV

Who did she get THIS excited about?!

3. Halsey made an incredible declaration.

MTV

I love her for this.

4. The cast of RuPaul's Drag Race replicated iconic VMA outfits.

MTV

Phi Phi O'Hara's take on the classic Lady Gaga meat dress had me gagged.

5. Maria Carey did a quick outfit change while presenting with Whitney Houston.

MTV

Honestly, looks incredible both ways.

6. Gigi Hadid danced like this with a glass of... water?

MTV

Ah, to be the glass that Gigi Hadid holds.

Absolutely could not be any cuter.

8. Lizzo twerked on stage and took home several awards, including Best New Artist.

MTV

We didn't think we could love her more.

9. The Chainsmokers performed and this singing accidentally made it look like someone's face was being eaten.

MTV

It's all about the angles.

10. Chloe X Halle rocked some truly incredible nose jewelry on the red carpet.

MTV

They are art.

11. Tiffany Haddish danced next to Pete Davidson on stage and he did not know what to do.

She's the current queen of comedy and he's... Ariana Grande's ex-fiancé.

12. Justin Bieber got emotional after singing "What Do You Mean."

MTV

We love a man who owns his emotions.

13. Rihanna gave a show-stopping performance in a matching pink get-up with her backup dancers.

We could listen to her talk about anything.

16. Tana Mongeau took a play out of Britney's handbook and brought a snake to the VMAs.

Extra points when it doubles as a boa.

17. The US Women's Olympic Gymnastics Team presented Beyoncé with an award.

MTV

The fact that the award was for Best Female Video just makes it even better.

18. Key & Peele acted as news commentators and said some pretty outlandish stuff.

Don't even worry about the context.

MTV

When does the joke end?
