MTV VMAs 2015: What in the world happened?

31 August 2015 [17:23] - TODAY.AZ
Miley Cyrus attends the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on Sunday, August 30, in Los Angeles.

Leave it to the MTV Video Music Awards to give folks plenty to talk about the next day.

There were triumph and tears, politics and bare boobs. Seriously. We are not even joking.

Here's what you may have missed if you didn't catch this year's VMAs:

Kanye, bro ...

It all started so hopefully.

    Taylor Swift gave a nod to the now-infamous VMAs incident from 2009, when Kanye West rushed the stage after Swift beat out Beyonce, proclaiming that "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." On Sunday night, Swift was there to present West with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

    Typical Taylor, in that Swift had nice things to say, including that West's "College Dropout" album was the first she purchased on iTunes when she was 12. And she called the rapper her friend.

    Then West took to the stage and thanked Swift, and things quickly went left.

    He spoke of the aftermath of interrupting Swift lo those many years ago. He bit the hand that was feeding him by saying, "You know how many times MTV ran that footage again, 'cause it got them more ratings?" He said "bro" a lot.

    But mostly West rambled while Swift -- and the rest of us -- stood there looking perplexed.

    He ended his speech by announcing, "And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided, in 2020, to run for president."

    Then he literally dropped the mic.

    Oh, hey, Miley Cyrus' boob

    By now, we all know that Miley Cyrus is going to do what she wants to do.

    Her twerking skills at the VMAs in 2013 and all the attention she's garnered since led to her being selected to host this year's show, and it was so many things.

    There were skits about how she acts out on Instagram thanks to her "Instagram Think Tank" and one about her with her grandma, rapper Snoop Dogg and some marijuana brownies.

    Cyrus made liberal use of the tape delay, as she cursed all she wanted, and her fashion throughout the evening defied description.
