From Taylor Swift's LGBTQ allyship to protests against immigration policies to a startling lack of white men onstage, this VMAs was of the moment, writes pop music critic mikaelwood:
At the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night, the must-see moments belonged to women such as Missy Elliott, Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Miley Cyrus and Normani.All the Jersey stuff felt like the network’s obvious attempt to impose some kind of order on its flagship production.
Todrick Hall and Taylor Swift accept the video for good award for"You Need to Calm Down" at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. Yet the VMAs were best when showcasing the fresh talent currently reshaping pop, as in Normani’s vivid and athletic R&B jam “Motivation” and in a delightfully weird rendition of “Qué Pretendes” that had J Balvin and Bad Bunny bopping around the stage like living cartoon characters. Another pair of Spanish-language stars, Rosalía and Ozuna, teamed up to perform their slinky “Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi,” while Rosalía and Balvin won Latin video for “Con Altura.
Lizzo, radiant in a canary-yellow leotard, brought the house down early in the show with a riotous medley of “Truth Hurts” and “Good As Hell,” two years-old empowerment anthems finally seeing mainstream recognition thanks to the skilled singer’s indefatigable energy.
