It’s the year of Katy Perry🔥 can’t wait for 143! We need some party record so Ling Ling can twerk my seasoned chicken ass! All these eggs rolls are chasing me
During what is already shaping up to be her biggest flop era 🤣 *allegedly* MESS!
Why you have to be salty and negative Debbie Downer? You really have nothing better to do. Go stream and support your fave’s Dopamine for 2 more copies of sales💀
Congrats Katy Perry! You are an icon and legendary 🥰
I do like Katy. Her music is fun and colorful.
FLOP
Your mom
Rihanna won vanguard when Beyoncé was the most nominated star of the night
Katy wins vanguard when Taylor is the most nominated star of the night
MTV knows how to gas it up ⛽️🔥
Exactly lol 😂
Beyoncé had already won the video vanguard award when Rihanna received it and Taylor has won Video of the year so many times at this point I think its fine Katy gets it.
