The performance saw an out-of-shape Britney, with an unconvincing wig/hair extensions wearing an unflattering bikini-type outfit lethargically dancing behind step with her dancers and badly lip-syncing to her new single. Thankfully after she recovered, she returned at the 2016 show with a much better performance.

The Music/MichaelJackson Video Vanguard Award is the "lifetime achivement" award given to artists and directors that made a profound impact in popular culture and music, though this may be been replaced by the Tricon Award which was first awarded to Music/LadyGaga in 2020, possibly in a move distancing the award from Jackson in the wake of the ''Leaving Neverland'' documentary, in which two accusers recount alleged sexual abuse from Jackson.

The Creator/{{MTV}} Video Music Awards or VMAs is an annual awards ceremony held by MTV honoring honoring music videos and artists.
The ceremony was initially meant to the an alternative to the [[UsefulNotes/GrammyAward Grammys]], both in honoring contemporary artists as well as having an "anything goes" approach to the live show, featuring outrageous moments from the host, presents and performances. Music/{{Madonna}}'s performance on the very first show would see her performing "Like a Virgin", while descending down from a wedding cake set piece in a wedding gown/lingerie hybrid outfit, rolling around the stage and writhing suggestively. From that point, the RefugeInAudacity would escalate year after year from artists and their performances until around the TheNewTens when it was dialed back several notches due MTV's declining stature in the mainstream landscape, and millennial and Gen-Z teens and younger adults [[SeenItAll being harder to shock and surprise]], barring a [[Music/MileyCyrus Miley]] moment or two.
