Well... The show would still have happened without her in a deteriorated fashion so I think it's accurate enough. We don't need to be so cocky as to say the show was all exclusively Gaga

I understand. I just don’t understand what they mean by “almost.” Lol

I'm not sure what they meant to imply either because they did praise her in the article so I don't think it was meant as shade

 

But it is interesting wording choice

If you read the article, they're saying the quarantine VMAs were not great, but Gaga was so good she almost saved the whole show. It's a good article with a misleading title for sure.

A lot of artists brought their A game that night and did well though. This has been the best VMAs since 2013 so I don't know why the GP hated it.

“Stupid Love.” At first, she was alone, balladically, sitting at a piano in the form of a giant brain. (If you didn’t watch the show, you’ll swear we’re making this up.)

Then it was time for the full-on group choreography, edited more eye-pleasingly than in her own video for the song

We thought Apple would help her out with some payola but turns out they sabotaged her lead single.

Honestly though... it would have been much better with proper cameras like in Rain On Me

Gaga is a trooper, she saved the show as much as one could. Those who appeared brought all that they could summon, with how low emotions are in the world, at this moment. I am happy that MTV went on with the show and didn't cancel, they are the only ones to try to pull through. It was a fun night. I really enjoyed everything Gaga that we got and The Weeknd's performance. It felt like a good TRY. We needed it.
