going on the Stars really came out obviously Taylor Swift We were on Taylor watch the entire night and we got to get a little peek of her actually making her way right in we timed it perfectly and we also saw Katie Perry of course looking amazing stunning that body she looks great perfect and also just so many celebrities I mean Chapel rone Tate McCrae the list goes on our housewives that we all love here at page six so yeah it was a great night and the Stars definitely came out for it and I heard you saw shabzi yeah shabzi no Amada though you guys I thought he would be there with her I know yeah no he looked great and we thought we were going to talk to him for a moment but you know we did break the news about him and Amada dating at page six so he may want to just like lay low for a little bit are they still dating if she wasn't there are they still dating that's what we need to know you know I did see him chatting to some uh people from The Challenge from MTV's The Challenge they were kind of like fangirling over shabzi and those ladies are very beautiful they looked great on the carpet but no I think uh he seems to be I don't know loyal to Amada they've been spotted together in recent weeks still so it seems to be going strong still for now now did you happen to see anything crazy happening on the carpet well I didn't personally get to witness it because I was in an area of the carpet that was a little far away from that but of course this moment went viral Chapel rone uh giving a big F you to the paps and to the photographers so not sure what happened there but um she seemed to be in good spirits by the time that she walked around to where we were so did you get to speak to anybody while you were out there of course yeah our favorite housewives that we love from Real Housewives of New Jersey Delores Katana Jennifer fesler kind of all of our favorites here at page six and U Chad Hanks was a great surprise actually on the carpet I really enjoyed chatting with him he was really great that's incredible now we got to move inside because you got to go in and see the show what did you get to see that the rest of us didn't get to see while watching oh my goodness well there was so much going on I was really honed in on Taylor watch of course all night um and she was she was great she was of course having the time of her life uh supporting all her friends and yeah it was just great everybody was having a really good time now Eminem obviously he opened the show how did that go because the energy watching it on TV was incredible he came out with all of his clones like he did many years ago I yeah that was an iconic tribute to that very memorable performance that he did so many years ago and as a millennial I personally enjoyed it I actually because I am a millennial though I I wish that he would do a little bit more of like the old school songs yes take it back yeah cuz he did do I mean don't get me wrong that song with jelly roll it's so emotional and amazing but I want a little bit more of the Nostalgia personally but I mean it's Eminem iconic I was happy to see jelly roll too I know that he was up for some VMAs he didn't land any which is all right but for him to be up there with Eminem was incredible well I don't know if he was on the stage he was on on the screen be part of that performance epic I wasn't sure how it like was on TV if it seemed like he was actually there but um yeah no I don't think he wasn't physically there but yeah no it was it was a great performance though all around obviously I love him I just you know Millennial I want the old school hits of course now before we get to Taylor because we're gonna be talking a lot of Taylor Meg the stallion the host of the show opened up incredible she did an amazing so many outfit changes gorgeous amazing and performed by the way too talk about like pulling double duty that is not easy no like and she hosts it perfectly you know you never know what these post like which route they're going to go like are they going to try to be really funny thank God she didn't really do that like she didn't try to be a comedian she was just herself and the Britney tribute for slay for you one of my faves coming out with the live snake I know was it live so I was seated somewhere a little bit kind of far she freaked out on stage because it started to kind of like WRA around her okay see I was from my vantage point I couldn't really tell if it was like real or not or what was going on I was just in the moment like yeah a Britney tribute like let's go for it because so many people like that that slate for you performance from Britney Spears is like for a lot of people including myself like the top performance for the bmas ever y so yeah no the fact that she you know paid homage to miss Britney Spears at the legend she rightfully should have done that and she it was great I loved it and she wasn't the only one either Tate McCrae did also um Sabrina Carpenter did in her performance which I don't know if you had a chance to catch it was just a little glimmer I feel like a lot of people could have missed it because it was just a hint of where it was like that part where it's like oh the old lady drops into the ocean it was just a little clip and I was like is she going to do a Britney song but then no she didn't all the all the pop gires paying tribute to Britney as they should Britney I hope that you know she comes back um to the bmas one year we all obviously still love her and big fans of her and speaking of Sabrina Carpenter she NAB song of the year for espresso beating out Taylor Swift who she opened up for on the errors tour yeah so a little bit of like an inside scoop story from when I was there so actually when Sabrina was performing I looked down to where Taylor was sitting and she wasn't sitting there and I was really surprised because I thought you know obviously like Taylor is always supporting her girls her friends and Sabrina obviously opened up for her on the Aros tour so when I didn't see her I said well that's strange that Taylor isn't standing up and dancing along to Espresso but then Taylor comes back out uh back into the stadium um dressed in a new outfit so we're like okay she was just doing a wardrobe change it's just the timing you know didn't work out but of course she supports her girlies I'm sure she was in the bathroom singing along yeah of course of course and she's seen I'm sure Sabrina perform so many many times too absolutely and now speaking of Taylor obviously she was the first one to win the award on stage for best collab her in post balone they both went up on stage uh how was that whole situation let let's talk about that about Taylor winning best collab yeah yeah no it was great I mean Taylor was up for 10 nominations this year so it's the most 12 actually oh was it 12 okay so it's it was the most nominations out of any artist this year and she was on the brink of breaking history which I believe she did she beat out Beyond for the most ever wins VMA wins um so yeah it was she's amazing no we everybody obviously everyone also in the music industry and like reality stars is so supportive of Taylor they they get it they're swifties too I will say that I do love the fact that she did pay tribute to the 911 situation when she did her speech which was very honorable of her so K she was one of the few people to actually bring that up the fact that you know it was this this exciting fun night enter for entertainment uh took Place obviously on a very serious time as well but um so yeah and it didn't even feel like in the being in the room like it kind of like felt like she brought the energy down not at all by saying that it like you said it was very honorable that she did that she did and now of course we got to talk about who brought Katie Perry on stage her hubby Orlando Bloom and she is one lucky lady but so is he's a lucky guy too so absolutely now of course she performed for the the video Vanguard award and I love that he called her by her government name that's Catherine Hudson I know yeah cuz she's not Kati Perry to him you know she is yeah his wife and mother of his child Daisy which is so cute she gave Daisy a shout out too I believe when she accepted the award but I actually for me personally Katy Perry's performance of that medley was like one of my favorite highlights of the night and I actually walked away I've never been to a Katy Perry concert and I was like now I need to go like when is she touring next because every time she' perform one of her songs I'd be like wait I want to hear the rest of it um and the set like everything was really cool cuz she did kind of like outer space it went with the Moon Motif and everything um she killed it and how was Taylor during it that's right how can I forget Taylor so supportive of ktie Perry standing up you guys she stood up the entire time throughout the performance dancing along and then throughout the entire speech you know I don't know what kind of heel she was wearing but I love the support it's like the girls supporting girls it's just I'm all for that yeah no more bad blood there that's for sure absolutely not and then the kiss with Katie and her hubby on stage oh yeah that was hot talk about passionate hi did you guys forget the cameras were rolling I know Daisy number two may be coming soon might be now Chapel row literally set the place on fire how was that performance live and in person oh my God amazing oh you know who really got a kick out of the performance the drag race Stars really they were all there just like cheering her on you know she obviously also gave a shout out to the queer community and her acceptance speech and you know it was it was a great time oh my goodness I can't believe I wasn't there now of course video of the year went to you guessed it Taylor Swift and post balone for fortnite she thanked everyone involved D in making uh the video and who else did she think Travis Kelsey of course which we were so shocked I mean we were hoping that she would finally give him a shout out that's what I was going to say it was the first time ever that Taylor has ever given Travis a shout out like that during boyf ever and everybody loved it everybody in the house was cheering on I think like I watched a clip later after I left the stadium and I saw an audience member like with the F that the camera cut to an audience member that was just so shocked that Travis's name was was mentioned and what she said about him too that he brings like magic and happiness to everywhere he goes like this is the real deal I feel like At first I was a little skeptical I'm not going to lie oh were you one of those I was I was a fan from the start I can't lie I love those I've been a fan of both separate but I was a little skeptical of the pairing I mean Lenny Kravitz LL Cool J you know just so many people that it was a really well-rounded show too I think there was something for everyone there were different uh people of different ages in the crowd I want to point out were like people with their kids and so everyone from Chapel Ron like L coj everybody walked away happy I know I was about to say it covered every single genre as well as every single age group so I feel like this year for 40 years of MTV VM you guys definitely nailed it it was a great show I'm so happy to be there and yeah it was a good really good time well thank you so much for joining us e and if you
