2015 VMAs: Best And Worst Moments

What happens at the VMAs definitely doesn't stay at the VMAs.

2015 VMAs: Best And Worst Moments

Everyone's favorite questionable, thought-provoking, fashion train wreck, and constant "Wait, did that just really happen?" awards show just aired. That's right, the annual Video Music Awards (VMAs) were held on MTV on August 30 in Los Angeles. Didn't see it live? You can catch up on all the big hits and misses here.

SPOILER ALERT: TSwift killed it (as usual) throughout the entire show (except her acceptance outfit for Blank Space).


BEST

Taylor Swift's new music video for "Wildest Dreams." Not only is her male co-star really cute (bonus points), she can pull off the dark hair really well.

Kanye West. I chose to put him in the best section simply because it was one of the weirdest acceptance speeches I've ever heard. I haven't been the world's biggest Kanye fan, but he was honored at the awards with the Video Vanguard award. His award speech was one of the most interesting I've heard in a while, and had a good point, but dragged on for a while, and I don't really know where he was going. But still... it's Kanye (for president 2020).


Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift's duo. Now you can idolize them, together.

Kanye, John Legend, Big Sean winning the category for best song with a message with "One Man." Not only is it a great song, but it also recognizes that sometimes there's a serious message behind the lyrics.


WORST

Miley Cyrus's outfits. Yes, Miley, we love you, but at a certain point, what you wear is really way too over the top.

Justin Bieber's performance. He hasn't been on the MTV stage in five years, and he definitely let people down. The dancing was okay, but the dancers were off at some points. You could also tell when he was actually singing versus the auto-tuned version of himself.

Iggy Azalea and Demi Lovato's duo. I thought Demi was performing fairly well except for the fact that she was over-sexualizing every body movement, but she and Iggy just did not have good chemistry on stage.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
