9 Crazy VMAs Moments That Have Taught Us to Expect the Unexpected

Taylor Swift and Kanye West's feud first began when Taylor's "You Belong With Me" video won the award for best female video over Beyoncé's "Single Ladies." During Taylor's acceptance speech, Kanye stormed the stage, took the microphone from her hand, told her he would let her finish, and proceeded to tell the crowd that "Single Ladies" was one of the best videos of all time. Beyoncé later graciously invited Taylor on stage to finish her speech.

Perhaps one of the most memorable VMAs moments was when Beyoncé announced her pregnancy with Blue Ivy Carter. Following her performance of "Love on Top," Beyoncé dropped her mic, unbuttoned her blazer, and rubbed her belly. Naturally, the whole audience went wild.

Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke certainly got people talking with their racy "Blurred Lines" performance. After stripping down to a rubber lingerie set, Miley proceeded to grind on Robin and stick her tongue out at the audience.

While accepting her award for best hip-hop video for "Anaconda," Nicki Minaj took the opportunity to call out Miley Cyrus (who was hosting the show) for bad-mouthing her in the press. Miley previously referred to Nicki as "not too kind" in an interview, and Nicki responded to the comments on stage, saying, "And now . . . back to this b*tch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good?"

That same night, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj put their feud to rest when the rapper brought Taylor out at the end of her opening number. The two even shared a sweet hug on stage.

After being honored with the Video Vanguard Award, Kanye West surprised everyone when he announced his presidential run. "I have decided, in 2020, to run for president," he told the crowd. No word on whether he still intends to follow through with his plans.
