The MTV VMAs went down on Monday night, and per usual, the show was filled with some crazy moments. While there were a handful of star-studded performances throughout the night — including Ariana Grande's "God Is a Woman" and Nicki Minaj's "Barbie Dreams" — there were quite a few moments that left people feeling very confused, and frankly, kinda old.

Not to mention, Jennifer Lopez's Vanguard performance and Backstreet Boys' preshow appearance made people super nostalgic. See how Twitter reacted to the show ahead.
