The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards did not see a dull moment. Kacey Musgraves made her firey VMA debut featuring her new single “star-crossed,” Lil Nas X thanked “the gay agenda,” and Madonna boisterously wished the awards show a happy 40th anniversary.
Olivia Rodrigo, the young actress turned mega popstar, also had a notable evening on the MTV stage. Descending from the rafters on a purple cloud, Rodrigo performed “good 4 u” for a crowd of eager fans. In a culmination of energy and anticipation, confetti exploded over the audience as Rodrigo sang her famous line like a damn sociopath!
