In retrospect, a lot of these people looked...VERY normal. But who even remembers what people were wearing to the 2009 VMAs? All we remember is that *this* is the VMAs wherein Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift, thus kicking off a pop culture butterfly effect that literally none of us could have anticipated.

Also: a LOT of people from *The Hills* were present, Lady Gaga looked bonkers and I'd completely forgotten, and it truly was the era of Spray Tan Gone Wild.
