Britney Spears: Queen of the VMAs

The VMAs have just announced that Britney Spears is taking the VMA stage for the first time since 2007. Over the years of her career Britney has created more iconic VMA moments than any other star. So please enjoy a list, made in no particular order, of the most icon Britney Spears VMA moments. Let my Chris Crockeresque rant begin.

1. The 2000 VMA Performance


This iconic performance consisted of Britney performing in a sparkling black tuxedo and stripping it off to reveal a bedazzled nude jumpsuit. The entire audience was slayed when Britney figuratively and literally shed her good girl image right in front of them.

2. The 2001 VMA Performance


The following year Britney performed "I'm A Slave 4 U" at the VMAS, little did she know it would become her most iconic performance ever. The choreography, the costume, and even an appearance from Taylor Swift (Oops I meant I the python, Banana).

3. 2003 VMA Performance


Now this is the epitome of iconic. Britney and then rival Christina Aguilera appeared together onstage dressed in wedding gowns performing "Like A Virgin". Halfway through the performance Madonna arose from a giant cake in the middle of the stage dressed in a tuxedo performing "Hollywood". What happened next is pop culture history. Madonna kissed both Britney and Christina on the mouth. Jaws fell around the country, people were so shocked they forgot that Missy Elliott also came out and performed. Truly iconic.

4. 2007 VMA Performance

This next performance is iconic for sadly all the wrong reasons. It is common knowledge that 2007 was a particularly hard year for Britney and it was reflected in this performance. The bullying Britney would endure from this performance would follow her throughout the rest of her meltdown. Including being roasted by Sarah Silverman immediately after in a monologue where she would call Britney's kids the "cutest mistakes". In her memoir Silverman discussed the jokes and later said she felt badly about it because she didn't watch the performance, she assumed Britney was going to be great.

Britney will be taking the stage at the 2016 VMAs on August 28, 2016 so stay tuned to what iconic moment she has up her sleeves.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
