Teyena Taylor had the best seat in the house at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards [1]. The singer and dancer made an unexpected appearance during Normani's elaborately choreographed performance [2] of "Wild Side," which ended with Normani performing a gravity-defying lap dance to a strapped-down Taylor. The viral moment appeared to be an homage to Janet Jackson [3], who famously offered a similar routine to various lucky audience members at her 2001 All For You Tour, specifically as she performed the song "Would You Mind." Following the performance, Teyana promptly tweeted [4], "Surpriseeeeeee." Watch back the truly wild award show moment ahead.
