Uhhh….I guess. Where Demon Queen Bey at? Buyin farmland, cows, and pigs to keep up this Cowboy carter act? Somebody call her. These folks need help. Ya girl aint feelin none of it.
Doja knows how to dance and the song is ok
Tate knows how to fkn dance but the song is boring
🥱
Doja barely sing the song… I rather she lip sync with all the words. Tate Has no personality whatsoever…. Her look and outfit is like some random Victoria secret models and doing catwalk… Gaga and Sabrina are the best! 💅🏼
Mariah didn’t even lipsync right 🤭 she is so out of place while the dancers dance like hell.. time to retire
She can do what she wants, still a legend
Such a negative person! There are 15 performances and you never got something nice to tell. I’m sure you don’t have any friends with that negative attitude & vibe.
Deal with it. I said what I’ve said! Ling Ling is always a TGJ VIP and always will be Sam’s favorite. 💅🏼 I ain’t going nowhere u fake ass ho
Tate served the most. Doja served but could have performed another song too.
Mariah walked more than usual — looks incredible.
Gaga too much / looks so scary.
Sabrina elevated basic / provocative. Barely 3 minutes. She’s still on top though.
Was this all the performances? Felt like it was missing other major talent.
Sabrina gave nothing. I don’t know her.
Yes she did. She brought some t r a n n y with her on the stage. You just jealous coz she didn’t invited your she male ass
🤣
Tate, Doja and Mariah killed it in there own way.
However Tate McRae was my favourite.
I’m surprised Cardi didn’t perform knowing she has an album coming out real soon and planning to tour. This would have been good for her.
She doesn’t have material for the stage
