I'm happy.
- Now, in 2019

when you accepted your award,
51
00:01:55,379 --> 00:01:58,379
you rolled out a scroll, okay?
If you do win tonight,
52
00:01:58,448 --> 00:02:01,655
do you have another scroll,
and where are you hiding it at?

something great. Yeah.

"When I win," okay?
That's how you claim it, okay?

59
00:02:12,862 --> 00:02:15,034

and you performed "Panini"
60
00:02:15,103 --> 00:02:17,724
on the main stage
as well back in 2019.
61
00:02:17,793 --> 00:02:21,275

Do you try to outdo
your performances or...

to, like, really find something
authentic inside of me.
557
00:22:50,413 --> 00:22:53,000
And I feel like
I really cared about it
558
00:22:53,068 --> 00:22:54,724
and it came out very honest,
you know,
559
00:22:54,793 --> 00:22:56,827
and they always connect
with my truth.
560
00:22:56,896 --> 00:22:58,724
- Absolutely. I think fans
can tell the difference
561
00:22:58,793 --> 00:23:00,206

I'm your girl, Jamila Mustafa,
718
00:31:12,931 --> 00:31:15,344
and I am coming to you live
from the Barclays Center
719
00:31:15,413 --> 00:31:17,724
right here in Brooklyn,
New York.

VMA first-timer, Lil Huddy!

This is my first time here.

I'm really excited.
- Oh, my goodness!
725
00:31:31,034 --> 00:31:32,586
Now, when you say excited,
right,
726
00:31:32,655 --> 00:31:33,758
because that's just,
"I'm excited."
727
00:31:33,827 --> 00:31:35,241
What does that
really mean to you?
728

- These are so many artists
I've looked up to for 3,
729
00:31:38,379 --> 00:31:40,931
4, 5 years, and being able
to be here for the first time
730
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,655

is just amazing.
731

00:31:44,517 --> 00:31:45,482
- Thank you.
733
00:31:45,551 --> 00:31:46,965
- I have to say,
a lot of artists
734
00:31:47,034 --> 00:31:48,965
that are performing tonight,
they have a stage name,
735
00:31:49,034 --> 00:31:50,689
but that's not
their birth name,
736
00:31:50,758 --> 00:31:53,517
and I don't know, okay?
I'm not your sister,
737
00:31:53,586 --> 00:31:55,413
but I'm guessing
that your parents
738
00:31:55,482 --> 00:31:58,000
didn't put "Lil Huddy"
on the birth certificate.
739
00:31:58,068 --> 00:31:59,724
- No, ma'am, no, they didn't.
740
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:02,758
- Okay, so listen,
I want to have some fun.
741
00:32:02,827 --> 00:32:05,172
Is it okay if I get some fans
742
00:32:05,241 --> 00:32:08,172
and we try to guess
who the real Lil Huddy is?
743
00:32:08,241 --> 00:32:09,620
- Yeah, I'm okay
with that, yeah.
744
00:32:09,689 --> 00:32:10,896
- Ah! Okay, he's game!
- Let's do it,
745
00:32:10,965 --> 00:32:13,379
- Let's do it!
Okay, here we go, okay?
746
00:32:13,448 --> 00:32:16,793
So I have you guys.
I've enlisted some fans,
747
00:32:16,862 --> 00:32:18,827
and they're going to see
if they can reveal this.
748
00:32:18,896 --> 00:32:22,068
Now, this cue card right here,
that's all scrambled up.
749
00:32:22,137 --> 00:32:24,586
It actually says
your real name,
750
00:32:24,655 --> 00:32:28,034
and whoever can unscramble it
in 10 seconds wins.
751
00:32:28,103 --> 00:32:30,034
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay, now what you win is,
752
00:32:30,103 --> 00:32:32,586
you are crowned royalty
right here on the red carpet.
753
00:32:32,655 --> 00:32:33,896
It doesn't get better
than that.
754
00:32:33,965 --> 00:32:36,068
- No, it doesn't.
- Are you ready to do it?
755
00:32:36,137 --> 00:32:39,413
- I'm ready.
- Yes. Let's go!
756
00:32:39,482 --> 00:32:42,517
- All right.
757
00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:46,068
- C. It starts with a...
His last name starts with an H.
758
00:32:46,137 --> 00:32:48,413
- Five! Four! Three!
- Okay. Chase Hudson!
759
00:32:48,482 --> 00:32:50,379
- Two!
760
00:32:50,448 --> 00:32:52,103
- Oh!
- That's the one.
761
00:32:52,172 --> 00:32:53,551
- Good answer, that's it.
- There you go!
762
00:32:53,620 --> 00:32:54,793
- Wow!
- Good job.
763
00:32:54,862 --> 00:32:57,896
- That is correct.
Come on, that's correct.
764
00:32:57,965 --> 00:33:00,931
The name is Chase Hudson,
AKA Lil Huddy.
765
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,068
- Good job.
766
00:33:02,137 --> 00:33:03,137
- Thank you.
- Good to meet you.
767
00:33:03,206 --> 00:33:04,482
- And I just absolutely
love it,
768
00:33:04,551 --> 00:33:06,931
so many exciting things
from you this year,
769
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,862
and I know that you actually
recently teamed up
770
00:33:08,931 --> 00:33:10,793
with Burger King
as a part of their
771
00:33:10,862 --> 00:33:12,965
Keep It Real Meals campaign.
- I did.
772
00:33:13,034 --> 00:33:16,137
- Also, Lil Huddy has
some new music on the way.
773
00:33:16,206 --> 00:33:18,000
- Oh, yeah, so I'm
doing a challenge
774
00:33:18,068 --> 00:33:19,758
with Burger King on TikTok.
775
00:33:19,827 --> 00:33:22,965
I've also been working
with them for a while now.
776
00:33:23,034 --> 00:33:24,724
I went, me and my friends,
and we all tried
777
00:33:24,793 --> 00:33:26,620
every single item on the menu,
778
00:33:26,689 --> 00:33:31,379
made sure we had
the perfect menu option for me.
779
00:33:31,448 --> 00:33:33,724
We narrowed it down. We had
a whiteboard and everything,
780
00:33:33,793 --> 00:33:36,344
and yeah, I've been
working on this album
781
00:33:36,413 --> 00:33:40,413
for about a year and a half,
and it's been a real process.
782
00:33:40,482 --> 00:33:42,517
It's been a challenge for me.
783
00:33:42,586 --> 00:33:44,724
I've never done something
like this before,
784
00:33:44,793 --> 00:33:46,931
and I'm really excited
for the world to hear it, man.
785
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,034
- Well, you're not
the only one.
786
00:33:48,103 --> 00:33:49,379
I'm really excited
for this project
787
00:33:49,448 --> 00:33:50,965
to come out.
Thank you for your time.
788
00:33:51,034 --> 00:33:52,724
Congratulations tonight.
- Thank you so much.
789
00:33:52,793 --> 00:33:54,896

going to kill it, okay?

You guys, let's go check in
791
00:33:56,275 --> 00:33:57,965

co-hosts are doing.
792
00:33:58,034 --> 00:34:00,448
I know they're not having
as much fun as us.
793
00:34:00,517 --> 00:34:03,068
- I'm thrilled about
this person joining me
794
00:34:03,137 --> 00:34:05,620
on the red carpet, Jack Harlow.
How are you?
795
00:34:05,689 --> 00:34:07,137

Good to see you.
798
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,206
- You look good
in the leather.
799
00:34:11,275 --> 00:34:12,413
- You look good.
- I got the leather on
800
00:34:12,482 --> 00:34:14,000
as well.
- Yeah, I love your hair.
801
00:34:14,068 --> 00:34:16,344
- Thank you. You're returning
to the VMAs this year
802
00:34:16,413 --> 00:34:18,482
after a stellar
pre-show performance last year.
803
00:34:18,551 --> 00:34:20,517
How does it feel
to be back tonight?
804
00:34:20,586 --> 00:34:22,000
- It's good.
805
00:34:22,068 --> 00:34:24,655
I was a little worried
last year.
806
00:34:24,724 --> 00:34:27,310
I didn't want all my success
to take place on the Internet.
807
00:34:27,379 --> 00:34:29,551
Now we're here in real life.
It's a good feeling.
808
00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:31,965
- Absolutely.
We hear you and Lil Nas X
809
00:34:32,034 --> 00:34:33,793
have something
pretty huge planned
810
00:34:33,862 --> 00:34:36,137
for tonight's performance.
What can you tell us about it?
811
00:34:36,206 --> 00:34:38,517
- You know him.
He's a moment maker.
812
00:34:38,586 --> 00:34:41,758
I'm just happy to be with him.
He's a hell of a guy.
813
00:34:41,827 --> 00:34:43,965
He's over there
looking incredible.
814
00:34:44,034 --> 00:34:46,724
- Yeah, I see him
over there, stunning.
815
00:34:46,793 --> 00:34:47,896
- Yeah, I'm excited.
816
00:34:47,965 --> 00:34:49,379
The people are in
for something.
817
00:34:49,448 --> 00:34:51,275
- Okay, great.
Are there going to be any
818
00:34:51,344 --> 00:34:54,551
elements from the music video
in your performance tonight?
819
00:34:54,620 --> 00:34:56,275
- Little sprinkles.
820
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:58,551
- Okay, okay,
keeping it a secret.
821
00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:00,724
We love that.
What would middle school Jack
822
00:35:00,793 --> 00:35:04,241
have to say about you
being here at the VMAs tonight?
823
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:07,103
- He'd be like, "Finally."
- Finally.
824
00:35:07,172 --> 00:35:08,862
- "I told you."
- Exactly.
825
00:35:08,931 --> 00:35:10,137
- He knew what it was.
826
00:35:10,206 --> 00:35:11,896
- It's happy to be here,
happy to be here.
827
00:35:11,965 --> 00:35:13,344
- Very.
828
00:35:13,413 --> 00:35:14,793
- Well, thank you so much
for chatting with me.
829
00:35:14,862 --> 00:35:16,206
Enjoy your night.
- Thanks for having me.
830
00:35:16,275 --> 00:35:17,448
- Hopefully you don't sweat
too much in this leather!
831
00:35:17,517 --> 00:35:18,965
- I'm glad it was you.
832
00:35:19,034 --> 00:35:20,379
People don't know, this
the first time we really met.
833
00:35:20,448 --> 00:35:21,758
- It is the first time
we've met.
834
00:35:21,827 --> 00:35:23,172
- Yeah. Thank you.
835
00:35:23,241 --> 00:35:24,482
- Well, we're excited
to be here at the VMAs.
836
00:35:25,827 --> 00:35:27,827
- And I'm standing here
with another star.
837
00:35:27,896 --> 00:35:29,931
Ozuna, so great
to see you again!
838
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,862

839
00:35:31,931 --> 00:35:33,586
- Yes!
Welcome back to the VMAs.
840
00:35:33,655 --> 00:35:35,137
How you feeling right now?
841
00:35:35,206 --> 00:35:37,241
- Thank you, thank you.
I'm so happy, so, so, so happy.
842
00:35:37,310 --> 00:35:39,068
I got something
special tonight.
843
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:40,448
- Tell me.
You can't just go in there
844
00:35:40,517 --> 00:35:42,517
without saying something.
Come on, we're friends.
845

2021 had in store
893
00:37:23,586 --> 00:37:26,275

896
00:37:31,586 --> 00:37:33,241
Ariana Grande.
897
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:36,000
- She's the moment,
she is the voice.
898
00:37:36,068 --> 00:37:38,034
She is a god.
899
00:37:38,103 --> 00:37:41,379
God is a woman, and her name
is Ariana Grande.
900
00:37:41,448 --> 00:37:43,793
- Never misses a beat,
always hard-working.
901
00:37:43,862 --> 00:37:45,758
She definitely deserves
this one.
902
00:37:45,827 --> 00:37:47,517
- Justin Bieber.
903
00:37:47,586 --> 00:37:49,275
- Even over a decade
in his career,
904
00:37:49,344 --> 00:37:52,275
he's pulling numbers
and breaking records as it is,
905
00:37:52,344 --> 00:37:54,551
and I just think he should
be recognized for that.
906
00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:57,758
- He's an incredible artist.
He has incredible energy.
907
00:37:57,827 --> 00:38:00,482

- Olivia Rodrigo.
910
00:38:05,517 --> 00:38:08,068
- I'm so excited
that my favorite artist
911
00:38:08,137 --> 00:38:11,655
Olivia Rodrigo is nominated
for Artist of the Year.
912
00:38:11,724 --> 00:38:14,137
- Olivia is a musical
powerhouse,
913
00:38:14,206 --> 00:38:16,000
and every single day,
she's proving
914
00:38:16,068 --> 00:38:17,620
that she's here to stay.
915
00:38:17,689 --> 00:38:19,551
- Taylor Swift.
916
00:38:19,620 --> 00:38:21,000
- I would love for
Taylor Swift
917
00:38:21,068 --> 00:38:23,586
to win Artist of the Year
at the VMAs.
918
00:38:23,655 --> 00:38:25,103
- It was pure magical.
919
00:38:25,172 --> 00:38:26,689
I can't even find words
to describe
920
00:38:26,758 --> 00:38:28,655
how amazing this video is.
921
00:38:28,724 --> 00:38:30,827
- Definitely deserves to be
the Artist of the Year
922
00:38:30,896 --> 00:38:34,206
because nobody does it
like Taylor Swift.
923
00:38:34,275 --> 00:38:36,000
- Doja Cat.
924
00:38:36,068 --> 00:38:38,034

fan of hers.
925

She is so iconic.
She's literally the Moonman.
926
00:38:40,551 --> 00:38:42,793
- "Planet Earth's"
a terrific album, I love it.
927
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:45,034
- She is a strong woman
who's not afraid to take risks
928
00:38:45,103 --> 00:38:46,586
with her music.
929
00:38:46,655 --> 00:38:48,448
- Megan The Stallion.
930
00:38:48,517 --> 00:38:50,206
- I think Artist of the Year
should go to
931
00:38:50,275 --> 00:38:51,551
Megan The Stallion
932
00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:53,655
because her music and her
music video this year
933
00:38:53,724 --> 00:38:55,379
has betrayed body positivity
934
00:38:55,448 --> 00:38:57,724
and women empowerment
for women all around the world.
935
00:38:57,793 --> 00:39:01,068

deserves this one--period.

I am joined by the girl
from Rio herself, Ms. Anitta.
1018
00:43:29,172 --> 00:43:30,620
- Hi. How are you?
1019
00:43:30,689 --> 00:43:33,137
- It is so great
to see you here.
1020
00:43:33,206 --> 00:43:34,620
- Thanks.
Thank you so much.
1021
00:43:34,689 --> 00:43:36,758
- On a scale of one to 10,
how excited are you?
1022
00:43:36,827 --> 00:43:40,103
- Yeah, I'm so happy.
It's my first time here.
1023
00:43:40,172 --> 00:43:42,034
- What was that like?
It is your first time.
1024
00:43:42,103 --> 00:43:43,551
- It's crazy.
It's the first time
1025
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:46,620
there's a Brazilian person
here at all,
1026
00:43:46,689 --> 00:43:49,689
so I'm actually so happy.
I feel so honored.
1027
00:43:49,758 --> 00:43:51,275
- Listen, you should
be proud of yourself.
1028
00:43:51,344 --> 00:43:53,241
You are representing yourself
and your culture.
1029
00:43:53,310 --> 00:43:56,068
And I know about your fandom,
but tell us a little bit
1030
00:43:56,137 --> 00:43:58,965
about the energy from your fans
watching back home.
1031
00:43:59,034 --> 00:44:00,862
- Well, they are very intense.
1032
00:44:00,931 --> 00:44:03,034
I would say that.
They are crazy.
1033
00:44:03,103 --> 00:44:04,896
We've been, like,
talking before.
1034
00:44:04,965 --> 00:44:07,448
You see that they go intense.
1035
00:44:07,517 --> 00:44:09,896
They answer every one.
They send questions.
1036
00:44:09,965 --> 00:44:11,827
They are crazy, in a good way.
1037
00:44:11,896 --> 00:44:14,551
- They support you, and
that's why you're here tonight.
1038
00:44:14,620 --> 00:44:15,896
- For sure.
- Now, listen,
1039
00:44:15,965 --> 00:44:17,793
you are representing Brazil
to the fullest,
1040
00:44:17,862 --> 00:44:20,241
and you're performing
later on tonight in the show.
1041
00:44:20,310 --> 00:44:21,724
I cannot wait for that.
1042
00:44:21,793 --> 00:44:23,896
But you even teamed up
with Burger King
1043
00:44:23,965 --> 00:44:26,896
as a part of their
Keep It Real Meals campaign,
1044
00:44:26,965 --> 00:44:29,034
but what can you tease, okay?
1045
00:44:29,103 --> 00:44:31,517
And tell us a little bit
about tonight's performance.
1046
00:44:31,586 --> 00:44:34,758
- It's going to be
very royalty.
1047
00:44:34,827 --> 00:44:38,103
I'm going to have my
two mamas, the two personas--
1048
00:44:38,172 --> 00:44:42,034
my real one, which is Larissa,
the one I'm, like, in my house,
1049
00:44:42,103 --> 00:44:43,793
you know, and the Anitta one.
1050
00:44:43,862 --> 00:44:45,551
It's a diva, singer,
1051
00:44:45,620 --> 00:44:47,931
all this fancy,
glamorous style.
1052
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,103
So people are going to see
Anitta and the real me.
1053
00:44:52,172 --> 00:44:54,103
Keep it real.
- And speaking of real you--
1054
00:44:54,172 --> 00:44:56,000
'cause you look
all real tonight--
1055
00:44:56,068 --> 00:44:57,620
I wanted to ask you
about that, okay?
1056
00:44:57,689 --> 00:45:01,103
Because when you hit the stage,
that's right, she's Anitta,
1057
00:45:01,172 --> 00:45:03,793
but when you're at home
chilling, you are Larissa.
1058
00:45:03,862 --> 00:45:07,241
So I wanted to know, who are we
really going to get tonight,
1059
00:45:07,310 --> 00:45:09,137
and are we going to be able
to tell the difference?
1060
00:45:09,206 --> 00:45:11,103
- I think you guys are going
to get a little bit of both.
1061
00:45:11,172 --> 00:45:12,689
In the beginning,
a little bit of Larissa
1062
00:45:12,758 --> 00:45:16,344
for you guys to just say hi,
very quick,
1063
00:45:16,413 --> 00:45:18,827
and then we go
full diva moment.
1064
00:45:18,896 --> 00:45:21,862
- Ooh, well, listen,
we live for alter ego tonight.
1065
00:45:21,931 --> 00:45:23,482
- I mean, yes.
1066
00:45:23,551 --> 00:45:26,206
And then we can just keep going
until the end of the night,
1067
00:45:26,275 --> 00:45:28,827
party, after-party.
- Oh!
1068
00:45:28,896 --> 00:45:31,103
- Getting drunk, having fun.
That's it.
1069
00:45:31,172 --> 00:45:33,448
- Okay! Listen, show us
how you do it in Brazil.
1070
00:45:33,517 --> 00:45:35,206
Best of luck of you tonight.
Enjoy this moment.
1071
00:45:35,275 --> 00:45:36,862
- Thank you.
- And congratulation, Anitta.
1072
00:45:36,931 --> 00:45:39,206
- Thank you.
- Ooh, ooh, I mean Larissa.
1073
00:45:39,275 --> 00:45:42,275
Well, let's see who else
is on the red carpet.
1074
00:45:42,344 --> 00:45:44,103
- Wow. Wow.
Can we just take a moment?
1075
00:45:44,172 --> 00:45:47,793
Have mercy! What is happening,
Chloe and Halle?
1076
00:45:47,862 --> 00:45:49,758
How are you?
- We are so great.
1077
00:45:49,827 --> 00:45:53,206
And so happy to be here
together and kicking ass,
1078
00:45:53,275 --> 00:45:54,758
and it's going to be
a great night.
1079
00:45:54,827 --> 00:45:56,689
- Now, Chloe,
this is going to be,
1080
00:45:56,758 --> 00:45:59,517
you know,
your solo main stage debut.
1081
00:45:59,586 --> 00:46:01,586
Halle, what are you going
to be doing in the meantime,
1082
00:46:01,655 --> 00:46:02,965
when she's up on that stage?
1083
00:46:03,034 --> 00:46:06,310
- I'm going to be
screaming my head off, okay?
1084
00:46:06,379 --> 00:46:08,172
I'm so excited.
This has just been
1085
00:46:08,241 --> 00:46:11,551
such a wonderful time,
watching her rehearse.
1086
00:46:11,620 --> 00:46:13,241
Nobody is ready
for this performance,
1087
00:46:13,310 --> 00:46:14,448
is all I have to say.
- I love you.
1088
00:46:14,517 --> 00:46:15,862
- Wait a minute.
You can't just say that
1089
00:46:15,931 --> 00:46:18,000
and not give us some insight.
Tell us something!
1090
00:46:18,068 --> 00:46:20,000
The visuals--
are we going to see some
1091
00:46:20,068 --> 00:46:22,965
of what we saw in the "Have
Mercy" video on that stage?
1092
00:46:23,034 --> 00:46:24,862
- Yes, definitely.
I'm bringing the music video
1093
00:46:24,931 --> 00:46:26,689
to life,
and I'm so happy to perform,
1094
00:46:26,758 --> 00:46:28,448
and I'm going to feel
comfortable on that stage
1095
00:46:28,517 --> 00:46:30,724
because my beautiful sister
is going to be presenting me.
1096
00:46:30,793 --> 00:46:32,724
So I'm more than excited
and grateful.
1097
00:46:32,793 --> 00:46:35,137
I've just been
over the moon excited
1098
00:46:35,206 --> 00:46:36,827
and happy with the response
to "Have Mercy."
1099
00:46:36,896 --> 00:46:38,862
I'm so grateful,
and we get to be here together,
1100
00:46:38,931 --> 00:46:40,206
and it's going to be
really special.
1101
00:46:40,275 --> 00:46:41,586
- Is it going to be
kind of weird
1102
00:46:41,655 --> 00:46:44,000
not to see her right
next to you on that stage?
1103
00:46:44,068 --> 00:46:46,206
- It is, but I will, because
I'm going to look right up,
1104
00:46:46,275 --> 00:46:48,241
and she's going to be right
there in her beautiful gown,
1105
00:46:48,310 --> 00:46:50,000
and I'm going to be like,
"Okay. I feel better.
1106
00:46:50,068 --> 00:46:51,517
I can do this
because she's right there."
1107
00:46:51,586 --> 00:46:53,448
- You've got this. It's all
under control right now.
1108
00:46:53,517 --> 00:46:54,689
- Yes, yes.
- Well, how do you both
1109
00:46:54,758 --> 00:46:55,827
prepare for a night like this?
1110
00:46:55,896 --> 00:46:57,413
Do you give each other
pep talks?
1111
00:46:57,482 --> 00:46:58,620
How does this work?
1112
00:46:58,689 --> 00:47:00,000
- Pray. Yeah.
- Pray.
1113
00:47:00,068 --> 00:47:03,103
It's really prayer,
and then, yeah, that's it.
1114
00:47:03,172 --> 00:47:05,413
- Lots of notes.
I like--I...
1115
00:47:05,482 --> 00:47:08,241
[chanting]
- Listen.
1116
00:47:08,310 --> 00:47:10,103
You hear that?
1117
00:47:10,172 --> 00:47:12,586
"Chloe and Halle"
is the chant right now.
1118
00:47:12,655 --> 00:47:14,413
Look at your fans.
Look at this.
1119
00:47:14,482 --> 00:47:16,000
What a moment.
- I'm gonna cry!
1120
00:47:16,068 --> 00:47:17,586
- Oh, my gosh.
This is--
1121
00:47:17,655 --> 00:47:19,551
- I'm going to cry right now.
- I can't cry my makeup off.
1122
00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:20,758
- Well, we can't cry.
1123
00:47:20,827 --> 00:47:22,344
The makeup is too gorgeous
right now.
1124
00:47:22,413 --> 00:47:24,068
But, you know what?
To see you on this journey,
1125
00:47:24,137 --> 00:47:25,379
and I've seen you
for years now,
1126
00:47:25,448 --> 00:47:27,413
I am so proud
of the both of you,
1127
00:47:27,482 --> 00:47:29,482
and to see the support system
right now.
1128
00:47:29,551 --> 00:47:30,965
- That's my best friend,
right here.
1129
00:47:31,034 --> 00:47:33,000
- Well, tell me the
inspiration behind the outfits.
1130
00:47:33,068 --> 00:47:35,206
I can't let you guys run off
without telling me something.
1131
00:47:35,275 --> 00:47:39,310
- Well, I was definitely
inspired by, like, the Medusa,
1132
00:47:39,379 --> 00:47:41,724
witchy vibe for the video,
and I'm wearing Marni,
1133
00:47:41,793 --> 00:47:43,310
and it's so fun
and comfortable.
1134
00:47:43,379 --> 00:47:44,862
And, sis, what are you
wearing, darling?
1135
00:47:44,931 --> 00:47:48,689
- Yes, I am wearing Monot,
and it is just comfortable,
1136
00:47:48,758 --> 00:47:50,275
and that's all I needed.
1137
00:47:50,344 --> 00:47:52,724
- And, yes, very comfortable,
and it's just like,
1138
00:47:52,793 --> 00:47:54,482
"Wow. It's all well
put together."
1139
00:47:54,551 --> 00:47:58,000
Well, what's your must-have
when you hit the red carpet?
1140
00:47:58,068 --> 00:47:59,448
- Each other.
- Each other.
1141
00:47:59,517 --> 00:48:02,344
- And...a piece of gum
so our breath doesn't stink.
1142
00:48:02,413 --> 00:48:04,551
- Yeah, and some perfume
so I'm not smelling up--
1143
00:48:04,620 --> 00:48:06,931
- I forgot the gum, so I hope
it's all right over here.
1144
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,862
- I got the gum for you guys.
Don't even worry.
1145
00:48:08,931 --> 00:48:10,379
Well, thank you
to the both of you.
1146
00:48:10,448 --> 00:48:11,724
- Thank you.
- You look amazing.
1147
00:48:11,793 --> 00:48:13,103
Best of luck on that stage.
1148
00:48:13,172 --> 00:48:14,413
- Thank you.
- Can't wait to see you.
1149
00:48:14,482 --> 00:48:16,172
Can't wait to hear you scream
for your sister.
1150
00:48:16,241 --> 00:48:17,931
It's going to be amazing.
1151
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,103
There's still so much
more pre-show to come.
1152
00:48:20,172 --> 00:48:23,172
What else is happening
on the red carpet?
1153
00:48:23,241 --> 00:48:26,172
- Our next performer is here
to sing "Future is Now"
1154
00:48:26,241 --> 00:48:27,655
from her upcoming album.
1155
00:48:27,724 --> 00:48:29,965
But before Kim Petras performs,
1156
00:48:30,034 --> 00:48:32,034
let's see how
this trailblazing icon
1157
00:48:32,103 --> 00:48:35,965
got ready for her
VMA show debut.
1158
00:48:36,034 --> 00:48:38,137
[exciting music]
1159
00:48:38,206 --> 00:48:40,103
- What's up, MTV?
I'm Kim Petras.
1160
00:48:40,172 --> 00:48:43,000
I'm at rehearsals for the VMAs.
1161
00:48:43,068 --> 00:48:45,724
So the inspiration for
this performance came from...
1162
00:48:45,793 --> 00:48:48,379
It happened after
Lollapalooza in Chicago.
1163
00:48:48,448 --> 00:48:49,862
I always feel like
going on stage
1164
00:48:49,931 --> 00:48:51,586
and performing really
frees my brain up.
1165
00:48:51,655 --> 00:48:53,241
And I woke up the next
morning, and I was like,
1166
00:48:53,310 --> 00:48:54,793
"I have the idea."
1167
00:48:54,862 --> 00:48:57,793
And a little tease would be
1168
00:48:57,862 --> 00:49:01,344
that it's sticky,
and it's pure pop.
1169
00:49:01,413 --> 00:49:03,551
It's bubblegum pop,
you could say.
1170
00:49:03,620 --> 00:49:07,896
I came up with this idea
with my amazing team.
1171
00:49:07,965 --> 00:49:11,413
We made it happen, and it was
amazing today to see it,
1172
00:49:11,482 --> 00:49:15,482
like, my kind of vision of it,
I guess, for the first time,
1173
00:49:15,551 --> 00:49:17,793
and it's--
I'm really proud of it.
1174
00:49:17,862 --> 00:49:20,862
Of course, I can't do the VMAs
without a little change.
1175
00:49:20,931 --> 00:49:22,379
I can't just give you one look,
1176
00:49:22,448 --> 00:49:25,172
so stay tuned for the end
of the performance,
1177
00:49:25,241 --> 00:49:26,827

00:58:33,758 --> 00:58:36,827
VMA vet, Avril Lavigne.
Hi, Avril!
1351
00:58:36,896 --> 00:58:37,896
- Hi. How are you?
1352
00:58:37,965 --> 00:58:40,000
- Great.
Welcome back to the VMAs.
1353
00:58:40,068 --> 00:58:41,620
- Thank you!
It's great to be here!
1354
00:58:41,689 --> 00:58:43,137
- I know.
1355
00:58:43,206 --> 00:58:45,310
Now I know you've had
memorable moments at the VMAs.
1356
00:58:45,379 --> 00:58:48,206
Do you have an all-time
favorite memory?
1357
00:58:48,275 --> 00:58:51,137
- Well, the VMAs hold a very
special place in my heart
1358
00:58:51,206 --> 00:58:55,310
because this is where I won
my very first award ever,
1359
00:58:55,379 --> 00:59:00,310
a Moonman, for Best New Artist,
so I love to be at the VMAs.
1360
00:59:00,379 --> 00:59:03,137
- Do you have any advice
for an upcoming artist
1361
00:59:03,206 --> 00:59:05,448
right now
after sharing that story?
1362
00:59:05,517 --> 00:59:08,896
- My advice is always
just be true to yourself
1363
00:59:08,965 --> 00:59:10,758
and follow your heart
1364
00:59:10,827 --> 00:59:12,482
and have as much fun
as possible...
1365
00:59:12,551 --> 00:59:13,758
- That's right.
-... and just,
1366
00:59:13,827 --> 00:59:15,172
yeah, be true to yourself.
Do your thing.
1367
00:59:15,241 --> 00:59:17,206
- And one of the best parts
of the VMAs is the fans!
1368
00:59:17,275 --> 00:59:20,034
- Absolutely.
[cheering]
1369
00:59:20,103 --> 00:59:24,103
- Now how's everybody
feeling tonight?
1370
00:59:24,172 --> 00:59:26,448
- Everyone is
so excited tonight!
1371
00:59:26,517 --> 00:59:29,310
- I know, but they're outside,
and I feel like the best part
1372
00:59:29,379 --> 00:59:30,965
of everything is happening
on the inside.
1373
00:59:31,034 --> 00:59:32,275
- No way! No way!
1374
00:59:32,344 --> 00:59:34,137
- So I think we should
fix this if that's okay.
1375
00:59:34,206 --> 00:59:36,206
- Do you guys have tickets
to the shows, to the VMAs? No?
1376
00:59:36,275 --> 00:59:37,517
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
1377
00:59:37,586 --> 00:59:38,758
- Can we do something
about that?
1378
00:59:38,827 --> 00:59:40,241
- I think we can.
1379
00:59:40,310 --> 00:59:42,448
Actually, thanks to GEICO
and MTV, it's going to happen.
1380
00:59:42,517 --> 00:59:44,965
Everybody's getting tickets!
- Oh, my God!
1381
00:59:45,034 --> 00:59:48,413
- You're going to be
inside the 2021 VMAs!
1382
00:59:48,482 --> 00:59:51,827
- Aw, that's so amazing! Yeah!
1383
00:59:51,896 --> 00:59:53,241
- I love this!
1384
00:59:53,310 --> 00:59:54,896
Avril, isn't this beautiful...
- This is awesome!
1385
00:59:54,965 --> 00:59:56,586
-... that joy,
that excitement?
1386
00:59:56,655 --> 00:59:58,000
- Yeah.
- It's amazing.
1387
00:59:58,068 --> 00:59:59,931
Well, listen, Avril.
Have an amazing time inside.
1388
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,758
- Thank you.
- You all are so amazing!
1389
01:00:01,827 --> 01:00:03,275
Have fun, okay?
1390
01:00:03,344 --> 01:00:06,000
- Have fun at the show!
- Now let's go ahead and check
1391
01:00:06,068 --> 01:00:07,896
out what's happening
on the red carpet.
1392
01:00:07,965 --> 01:00:10,482
- Y'all so silly.
- Beautiful.
1393
01:00:10,551 --> 01:00:13,241
- You're so silly.
Mm, come on.
1394
01:00:13,310 --> 01:00:17,448
I am standing right here
with three pop music icons.
1395
01:00:17,517 --> 01:00:22,379
I'm talking about Lance Bass,
AJ McLean, and Nick Lachey.
1396
01:00:22,448 --> 01:00:24,551
- Thank you! What up?
- Oh, my goodness.
1397
01:00:24,620 --> 01:00:26,793
Now I can't.
[crowd cheering]
1398
01:00:27,517 --> 01:00:30,310
- Thank you.
1399
01:00:30,379 --> 01:00:31,620
- Oh, yeah!
- We paid him to do that!
1400
01:00:31,689 --> 01:00:32,931
- Oh, yeah!
- That's my family over there!
1401
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,137
- There we go.
Now I can't lie, gentlemen.
1402
01:00:35,206 --> 01:00:39,068
This is every '90s girl's dream
right here, okay?
1403
01:00:39,137 --> 01:00:41,793
And I just have to say
that you are representing
1404
01:00:41,862 --> 01:00:45,413
three of the greatest
boy bands of all time.
1405
01:00:45,482 --> 01:00:46,655
- Wow. Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you.
1406
01:00:46,724 --> 01:00:48,482
- You got to put respect
on the name, okay?
1407
01:00:48,551 --> 01:00:50,172
Now I know what it means
1408
01:00:50,241 --> 01:00:52,896
for fans to see you guys here,
to get the love.
1409
01:00:52,965 --> 01:00:54,620
You heard them
chanting the songs,
1410
01:00:54,689 --> 01:00:58,413
but I got to ask you guys
as the OGs, the icons,
1411
01:00:58,482 --> 01:01:01,517
what is it like gracing
the red carpet once again?
1412
01:01:01,586 --> 01:01:03,448
- It's awesome.
1413
01:01:03,517 --> 01:01:06,275
This is a part of history
for all three groups.
1414
01:01:06,344 --> 01:01:09,931
I mean, we've been doing this
for almost 30 years now,
1415
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,931
and to still be able
to come here,
1416
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,551
MTV VMAs
1417
01:01:13,620 --> 01:01:17,517
and get that kind of love
and respect is phenomenal.
1418
01:01:17,586 --> 01:01:19,448
- They've actually asked us
to be the chaperones tonight.
1419
01:01:19,517 --> 01:01:20,517
- Yeah, so...
1420
01:01:20,586 --> 01:01:22,000
- We're now officially
that old.
1421
01:01:22,068 --> 01:01:24,551
- To enforce the 6-foot rule.
- Yeah, yeah.
1422
01:01:24,620 --> 01:01:26,379
- Back, back, back, back,
back, back, back.
1423
01:01:26,448 --> 01:01:27,793
- What are you doing?
1424
01:01:27,862 --> 01:01:29,551
- Really quick, okay,
because it's rare
1425
01:01:29,620 --> 01:01:32,275
that we get a chance
to talk to living icons
1426
01:01:32,344 --> 01:01:34,413
that are still as relevant
as you guys,
1427
01:01:34,482 --> 01:01:37,448
what is your favorite
VMA moment really quick?
1428
01:01:37,517 --> 01:01:39,586
- Oh, boy.
- Oh, my gosh.
1429
01:01:39,655 --> 01:01:41,068
- Years ago, we were
presenting an award,
1430
01:01:41,137 --> 01:01:43,413
and one of the guys
from Rage climbed a set
1431
01:01:43,482 --> 01:01:45,965
and literally shut down
the awards show live.
1432
01:01:46,034 --> 01:01:47,310
It was... yeah.
- I love it.
1433
01:01:47,379 --> 01:01:49,344
You guys are doing
some amazing things still.
1434
01:01:49,413 --> 01:01:50,689
Nick, I just got
to talk about it
1435
01:01:50,758 --> 01:01:52,034
because y'all have
a very special event
1436
01:01:52,103 --> 01:01:53,586
coming up early next year,
1437
01:01:53,655 --> 01:01:55,689
and it's called
Total Relief Live.
1438
01:01:55,758 --> 01:01:56,793
Tell us a little bit
about that.
1439
01:01:56,862 --> 01:01:58,344
- Yeah, TRL,
Total Relief Live.
1440
01:01:58,413 --> 01:02:00,034
Putting together
a fundraising concert
1441
01:02:00,103 --> 01:02:03,137
obviously along with MTV,
TRL-era acts coming together
1442
01:02:03,206 --> 01:02:05,275
for a fundraising night
benefiting Feeding America,
1443
01:02:05,344 --> 01:02:08,379
it's going to happen in January
in Los Angeles in 2022,
1444
01:02:08,448 --> 01:02:10,448
so excited to put that on,
1445
01:02:10,517 --> 01:02:12,206
and obviously if you're going
to call something TRL,
1446
01:02:12,275 --> 01:02:14,827
you got to go
to the marquee names of TRL.
1447
01:02:14,896 --> 01:02:16,172
- Right here.
1448
01:02:16,241 --> 01:02:17,724
- So my boys are here
representing tonight.
1449
01:02:17,793 --> 01:02:19,620
And we're excited to put
this together and excited
1450
01:02:19,689 --> 01:02:21,172
to bring it to the world.
- I love it.
1451
01:02:21,241 --> 01:02:22,896
Well, we're all supporting,
and I just got to say, Nick,
1452
01:02:22,965 --> 01:02:24,758
AJ, Lance,
thank you for your time.
1453
01:02:24,827 --> 01:02:25,965
Enjoy tonight.
- Thank you.
1454
01:02:26,034 --> 01:02:27,172
- Thank you.
- Thanks for having us.
1455
01:02:27,241 --> 01:02:28,448
- Nessa, what's going on
on the red carpet?
1456
01:02:28,517 --> 01:02:29,793
Because you know
what's happening over here.
1457
01:02:29,862 --> 01:02:32,206
- Well, I'm now joined
by the incredible global
1458
01:02:32,275 --> 01:02:35,103
pop star Troye Sivan.
Thank you for being here.
1459
01:02:35,172 --> 01:02:36,793
- Thank you for having me.
Global pop star, that's nice.
1460
01:02:36,862 --> 01:02:38,655
- Oh, you like that?
- Yeah, that was very nice.
1461
01:02:38,724 --> 01:02:40,000
- Now let's go back
a little bit.
1462
01:02:40,068 --> 01:02:42,068
I saw you on the red carpet
in 2016...
1463
01:02:42,137 --> 01:02:43,896
- Crazy.
- So I know the VMAs holds
1464
01:02:43,965 --> 01:02:45,931
a special place in your heart.
- Very, very special.
1465
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,137
I remember that day so clearly,
1466
01:02:47,206 --> 01:02:49,724
and, yeah,
it was a highlight for me.
1467
01:02:49,793 --> 01:02:50,965
I really... I loved it.
It was great.
1468
01:02:51,034 --> 01:02:52,206
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
1469
01:02:52,275 --> 01:02:53,137
- How does it feel
to be back tonight?
1470
01:02:53,206 --> 01:02:54,137
- I'm so stoked.
- Yeah?
1471
01:02:54,206 --> 01:02:55,379
- I'm so stoked.
1472
01:02:55,448 --> 01:02:58,551
I've already seen
some crazy [bleep],
1473
01:02:58,620 --> 01:03:00,172
and I am, yeah, looking forward
1474
01:03:00,241 --> 01:03:01,586
to the rest of the night.
I think it's going to be good.
1475
01:03:01,655 --> 01:03:03,034
- Oh, yeah.
It's going to be beautiful.
1476
01:03:03,103 --> 01:03:04,965
Now you've already been
getting ready for the VMAs
1477
01:03:05,034 --> 01:03:06,724
before you even got here.
- Yeah.
1478
01:03:06,793 --> 01:03:09,034
- You had yours
special performance
1479
01:03:09,103 --> 01:03:11,000
pushed at a VMAs concert,
which was amazing.
1480
01:03:11,068 --> 01:03:12,379
- Yeah.
1481
01:03:12,448 --> 01:03:13,965
- Thanks to EXTRA Gum
for making that happen.
1482
01:03:14,034 --> 01:03:16,793
So tell me, how was it to be
reunited with your fans again?
1483
01:03:16,862 --> 01:03:18,379
- Well, that was the thing.
It was my first time
1484
01:03:18,448 --> 01:03:20,758
performing live
in over 2 years,
1485
01:03:20,827 --> 01:03:24,068
and, yeah, I don't know.
I just was... I got nervous.
1486
01:03:24,137 --> 01:03:25,586
It was like my first show
all over again,
1487
01:03:25,655 --> 01:03:27,206
but it was amazing.
It was a really good time.
1488
01:03:27,275 --> 01:03:28,482
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
1489
01:03:28,551 --> 01:03:29,862
- Well, guess what?
We are going to see
1490
01:03:29,931 --> 01:03:31,586
some of that performance
later on during that show.
1491
01:03:31,655 --> 01:03:33,000
That's okay, right?
- Yeah, of course.
1492
01:03:33,068 --> 01:03:34,344
- That's going
to be coming up.
1493
01:03:34,413 --> 01:03:35,931
I really appreciate
you stopping by, Troye.
1494
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,068
- Thanks so much for having me.
1495
01:03:37,137 --> 01:03:38,379
- We'll see you in a little
bit.
1496
01:03:38,448 --> 01:03:39,413
I love the outfit.
- Thank you. Thank you.
1497
01:03:39,482 --> 01:03:40,379
- I wish I could
pull it together,
1498
01:03:40,448 --> 01:03:41,862
but here I am trying my best.
1499
01:03:41,931 --> 01:03:43,103
- No, you look amazing.
What are you talking about?
1500
01:03:43,172 --> 01:03:44,482
- I'm trying. Hey, listen.
- You look great.
1501
01:03:44,551 --> 01:03:45,655
- I'm just trying to be
on your level, right?
1502
01:03:45,724 --> 01:03:46,758
- No, you're doing it.
You're doing it.
1503
01:03:46,827 --> 01:03:48,275
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
1504
01:03:48,344 --> 01:03:49,379
Now let's see what else
is happening on the red carpet
1505
01:03:49,448 --> 01:03:50,448
right now.
1506
01:03:52,965 --> 01:03:55,931
- Yes, I just have
to tell you guys how excited
1507
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:00,068
we are about tonight.
We have so much coming up.
1508
01:04:00,137 --> 01:04:02,862
There is so much in store,
and I just have to say
1509
01:04:02,931 --> 01:04:06,206
that there are so many awards
to be won tonight.
1510
01:04:06,275 --> 01:04:09,344
You guys can hear them.
They're getting excited.
1511
01:04:09,413 --> 01:04:11,793
We have Polo G
right there behind us,
1512
01:04:11,862 --> 01:04:17,275
and I just have to tell you
that tonight is on fire,
1513
01:04:17,344 --> 01:04:21,896
but I have to switch to
a more inclusive topic, okay?
1514
01:04:21,965 --> 01:04:24,620
We got to talk about something
that's very, very important
1515
01:04:24,689 --> 01:04:27,448
because the artists
nominated tonight
1516
01:04:27,517 --> 01:04:29,517
for Video for Good category,
1517
01:04:29,586 --> 01:04:32,103
they really took their messages
beyond the music,
1518
01:04:32,172 --> 01:04:34,103
and they wowed us
with their powerful
1519
01:04:34,172 --> 01:04:36,137
and inspirational videos
this year.
1520
01:04:36,206 --> 01:04:38,724
Now these artists addressed
topics like oppression,
1521
01:04:38,793 --> 01:04:41,241
addiction, division,
trauma and abuse,
1522
01:04:41,310 --> 01:04:44,655
and they even showed us
that no topic is taboo.
1523

Plus we're all
in this together.
1524
01:04:46,137 --> 01:04:48,620
Now one topic that is
very important to us all
1525
01:04:48,689 --> 01:04:52,000
is mental health because
mental health is health,
1526
01:04:52,068 --> 01:04:54,000
so I want you guys
to take care of yourself
1527
01:04:54,068 --> 01:04:55,413

since its inception in 1981
1537
01:05:20,517 --> 01:05:23,000
because we've always been
inspired by the exploration
1538
01:05:23,068 --> 01:05:26,448
of new worlds and the idea
that anything is possible,
1539
01:05:26,517 --> 01:05:28,241
so what better way
to celebrate tonight
1540
01:05:28,310 --> 01:05:30,034

real-life moon people?

That's, like,
an insane amount of votes.
1727
01:15:05,448 --> 01:15:06,827

They couldn't be here
either tonight,
1735
01:15:26,068 --> 01:15:27,482
but they wanted
to send their love
1736
01:15:27,551 --> 01:15:30,724
and a special thank you
to all of their fans.
1737
01:15:30,793 --> 01:15:32,862
Let's take a look.
1738
01:15:32,931 --> 01:15:34,517
- Hey, we are...
all: BTS.
1739
01:15:34,586 --> 01:15:35,655
- Thank you, VMAs,
1740
01:15:35,724 --> 01:15:37,689
for the Group

1741
01:15:37,758 --> 01:15:39,965

01:15:52,034 --> 01:15:53,758
Okay, Simone Biles here.
1749
01:15:53,827 --> 01:15:55,068
By the way
I've been stretching,
1750
01:15:55,137 --> 01:15:56,413
I've been trying to get right.
1751
01:15:56,482 --> 01:15:58,068
But listen, I can't
even do a cartwheel.
1752
01:15:58,137 --> 01:15:59,620
I can't do anything you do.
1753
01:15:59,689 --> 01:16:01,586
You're incredible.
- Thank you.
1754
01:16:01,655 --> 01:16:03,655
- Thank you so much for taking
the time to be here today!
1755
01:16:03,724 --> 01:16:04,689
- You're welcome!
1756
01:16:04,758 --> 01:16:06,586
- What an event,
the VMAs, right?
1757
01:16:06,655 --> 01:16:07,965
- I'm very excited.
1758
01:16:08,034 --> 01:16:10,137
- Now, I heard you're
going to be on stage.
1759
01:16:10,206 --> 01:16:12,448
What are you going to be
doing on that stage,
1760
01:16:12,517 --> 01:16:14,482
'cause I'm so curious now?
1761
01:16:14,551 --> 01:16:16,103
- So, I'll be presenting
Doja Cat tonight.
1762
01:16:16,172 --> 01:16:18,827
- Wait a minute.
You said it so casually!
1763
01:16:18,896 --> 01:16:20,896
- Yeah.
- That's going to be amazing.
1764
01:16:20,965 --> 01:16:22,241
- Yeah.
- This is exciting.
1765
01:16:22,310 --> 01:16:24,068
Any pressure?
1766
01:16:24,137 --> 01:16:26,137
- I honestly feel more nervous
than I do competing.
1767
01:16:26,206 --> 01:16:27,310
And I don't know why--
- What?
1768
01:16:27,379 --> 01:16:29,379
- But, I don't know.
- What is it?
1769
01:16:29,448 --> 01:16:30,965
- It's like a little bit
out of my element.
1770
01:16:31,034 --> 01:16:32,724
- Okay, a little bit,
but you're doing amazing.
1771
01:16:32,793 --> 01:16:33,896
- Thank you.
- Okay.
1772
01:16:33,965 --> 01:16:35,965
So what is your must,
go-to item
1773
01:16:36,034 --> 01:16:38,586
that you have to have
when you hit the red carpet?
1774
01:16:38,655 --> 01:16:40,241
- Oh, probably lip gloss.
Keep them fresh.
1775
01:16:40,310 --> 01:16:41,620
- Lip gloss. Yeah.
- Yeah. Nice.
1776
01:16:41,689 --> 01:16:43,827
- Can't go wrong with that.
No, not at all.
1777
01:16:43,896 --> 01:16:46,551
Well, out of all the nominees,
who's on your playlist
1778
01:16:46,620 --> 01:16:48,000
when you're getting ready
to work out?
1779
01:16:48,068 --> 01:16:50,103
- Okay, definitely
right now, my hype list,
1780
01:16:50,172 --> 01:16:51,689
I'm super excited
to pronounce--
1781
01:16:51,758 --> 01:16:53,379
to announce her,
but it's also Doja Cat.
1782
01:16:53,448 --> 01:16:55,137
- Really?
You're not just saying that?
1783
01:16:55,206 --> 01:16:57,000
- No, I'm not just saying that.
I'm dead serious!
1784
01:16:57,068 --> 01:16:58,620
We're, like, jamming to her.
Love her music.
1785
01:16:58,689 --> 01:17:00,275
- That is so awesome.
1786
01:17:00,344 --> 01:17:02,655
Well, listen, would you be able
to teach me a couple moves,
1787
01:17:02,724 --> 01:17:05,310
or do you think it's like,
I've had my run?
1788
01:17:05,379 --> 01:17:07,517
- Maybe afterwards. Yeah.
- Maybe afterwards. Wow.
1789
01:17:07,586 --> 01:17:09,413
You're so nice.
I love it.
1790
01:17:09,482 --> 01:17:11,551
Well, Simone Biles, I can't
wait to see you on that stage.

But first, this is
the Video Music Awards,
1797

to address the biggest award

1799

that purple number?
2180
01:34:42,931 --> 01:34:44,137
Showstopper.
2181
01:34:44,206 --> 01:34:46,172
But I also like
Jack Harlow in the green.
2182
01:34:46,241 --> 01:34:47,448
You know,
there was a lot of good.
2183
01:34:47,517 --> 01:34:48,965
The men showed up tonight,
I thought.
2184
01:34:49,034 --> 01:34:51,517
- Oh, for sure.
Doja Cat looked amazing.
2185
01:34:51,586 --> 01:34:53,068
- She did.
- Now, Tinashe, I don't know
2186
01:34:53,137 --> 01:34:54,931
if you had a chance to see it
when I was talking to her,
2187
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,206
her fans were chanting
her name out here.
2188
01:34:57,275 --> 01:34:59,689
- Yes.
- I mean, it was so wild.
2189
01:34:59,758 --> 01:35:01,172
- That energy.
- How about for you?
2190
01:35:01,241 --> 01:35:04,482
Who was out there that
just fans were losing it for?
2191
01:35:04,551 --> 01:35:06,413
- I think the energy here
is insane tonight.
2192
01:35:06,482 --> 01:35:09,000
Everyone's so happy
to be here.
2193
01:35:09,068 --> 01:35:10,241
- Got it.
- It's so incredible.
2194
01:35:10,310 --> 01:35:11,448
- Well, listen.
We got to wrap it up.
2195
01:35:11,517 --> 01:35:13,103
- Absolutely so much fun.
- Here we go.
2196
01:35:13,172 --> 01:35:14,517
Enjoy the show, everyone.
2197
01:35:14,586 --> 01:35:17,482
The 2021 Video Music Awards
starts now.
