Laga Gaga dons a meat dress (2010)

Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift (2009)
A hot-tempered Kanye West ruined Taylor Swift's winning moment when he stormed on stage amid her Best Female Video acceptance speech and said, 'Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all-time!' before stalking off.
The Britney-Madonna-Christina kiss (2003)
Madonna has been shocking VMA viewers for years, starting with rolling around in a wedding dress singing Like a Virgin.
But nothing created a bigger fuss than her girl-on-girl kisses with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Diana Ross meets Lil Kim's Cleavage (1999)

Fiona Apple calls out the industry for their bull**t (1997)
When Fiona went on to the VMA stage to give her acceptance speech in 1997, she stunned the crowd by giving a big middle finger to the music industry.
'Everybody that's watching this world -- this world is bull**t. And you shouldn't model your life about what you think that we think is cool, and what we're wearing and what we're saying. Go with yourself.'
The Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley kiss (1994)
One of the most uncomfortable moments in VMA history happened in 1994 when Michael Jackson took to stage with his then wife Lisa Marie Presley and shared an awkward kiss.
Even at the time, the on-stage kiss between the King of Pop and his then bride seemed more like a dare than a real-life romance.
