All About That Booty: 28 of the Best Music Video Butt Moments

Updated on Sep 20, 2014 at 8:28 PM

Jennifer Lopez made headlines this week when she released the steamy video for her new single, "Booty." In the clip, she and Iggy Azalea twerk, touch, and writhe around for the cameras — and though they've been getting lots of attention for the amount of ass they put on display, it can be argued that it's just the tip of the iceberg as far as booty-ful music videos are concerned. Round, full, voluptuous backsides are certainly nothing new, but it is refreshing to see so many people (especially women) falling in love with their curves after seeing such body-positive messages from female musicians. From Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" — and its more recent reincarnation, Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" — to "Bootylicious" and "Milkshake," we're taking a look back at some of the best booty moments from music videos, in GIF form. Keep reading to see them all now.
