Katy Perry has won Most Iconic Performance at the VMAs

[BeautyisaLie 1,350]

It's very clear to me that they gave it to her because she was there, and also because Taylor will probably receive the rest of the awards she's nominated for. They used Gaga and all the pop girls just to bait us into watching the awards, like they've done for many years now. End of story.

Another September 11 tragedy

Omg I’m dying. 
 

radio is a pay to be played platform.

VMAs is a pay to show up platform.

 

such a joke

I know there's already six pages of this sentiment but I just feel the need to chime in: I remember watching the Paparazzi performance live. It's not an exaggeration to say it was a cultural reset. Also where is Britney's "Slave 4 U" performance? That was iconic in the literal sense.

I truly do not remember Katy's "Roar" performance.

The fact that KP won over Gaga (the objectively best performance in the history of the awards and overall, no room for argument), or Taylor Swift (objectively the biggest fan base at present), is truly incredible. Not only does this generate backlash for the show, but especially for Perry and does nothing more than corroborate once again that her career is irreversibly buried. It's so crass and the backlash is so negative that I can't believe Perry decided to drop money for this

Congratulations to Katy Perry, I'm sure this award would look good next to your Gra-

stop it

surely not  

[laneXcolten 314]

What a ****ing joke 
It didn’t have to be Gaga, but it couldn’t have been this. 

[TAIPEI 2,518]

this belongs to paparazzi definitely. i mean who the f**k was not shocked and impressed by that one of the most iconic performance of all time? roar?? huh???

only watched one time by this roar live at vma 2013, the opening performance (applause) same year was better than roar even its not on the list of nominees.

mtv should not just give awards for those who attends.

She and her team put so much effort into payola, I wish they put the same effort into making good music and not hiring a r*pist 

[RebeldeFaith 5,555]

Craziest thing is that performance was the same night Gaga performed 'Applause', and that performance is more memorable than 'Roar'.

Nobody is buying it.., except Katy 

[Tempest 884]

Wow she really bought all her awards huh
