All Rights Reserved. I would be lying if I said this duet was my favorite Madonna song, or even on the list of Madonna songs I want to hear again. I also did not think it seemed like MADONNA's very favorite song. But I respect a woman who is like, "I am still going to dance the shit out of it; just get me some kneepads." ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/3142377_VMAS_2026_0781b-1-dragged-1790569444.jpg) Madonna at The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), broadcasting live from the Peacock Theater on Sunday, September 27, 2026 on the CBS Television Network, and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+\*. — Photo: Francis Specker/CBS ©2026 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. I call this one The Bathroom Song because of the set (a replica of one from the video; it's a subway station bathroom, I think). It is a GREAT song that entreats us to "get up and dance," and I have to assume everyone did, because it thumped. ## Charli XCX ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/3142377_VMAS_2026_0873b-1-dragged-1790569453.jpg) Madonna and Charlie XCX at The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), broadcasting live from the Peacock Theater on Sunday, September 27, 2026 on the CBS Television Network, and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+\*. — Photo: Francis Specker/CBS ©2026 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Charli's parts were largely unintelligible, but whatever. We did also get Debi Mazar and Julia Garner -- dressed as Madonna of Yore -- and a TON of other high-octane dancers. Sadly, no BonitaIsla CrazyForYou, though he IS in the video. (I already used [Borderline Cherishvogue in Drinks With Broads](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/i/202861818/meet-madonna-or-not).) ## Sabrina in 2004 D&G, and Madonna ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/3142377_VMAS_2026_1092b-1-dragged-1790569467.jpg) Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna at The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), broadcasting live from the Peacock Theater on Sunday, September 27, 2026 on the CBS Television Network, and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+\*. — Photo: Francis Specker/CBS ©2026 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Madonna was TRYING to tell a story about how responsive Sabrina was to her personally, but it ended up being MORE a story about how Sabrina's team was NOT responsive, and Sabrina was like, "...I PROMISE THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE." Sabrina might also look her very best here. Madge is like, "WHATEVER, I WEAR KINESIOTAPE, IT'S FINE." ## Snoop Dogg ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297472787-1790564796.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: Host Snoop Dogg speaks onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Snoop has great turnout. He should do ballet. Also, that's a slick custom VMAs jacket with matching shoes. He's spiffy. ## Lisa in Daniil Antsiferov ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297460890-1790564577.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: Lisa accepts the "Best Pop" Award for “Dream feat. Kentaro Sakaguchi” onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Lisa won "Best Pop" and I know that this is the VMAs and so they mean "video," they still need a word there. Unless she has her own brand of soda. Also, you could have a blast washing windows in those sleeves. ## Lisa ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297468710-1790564660.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: LISA performs onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) I must admit I did not enjoy this song, though I am happy for her success and for her having procured underwear with her name on it. ## Raye ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2296952641-1790564530.jpg) Raye performs onstage at 2026 MTV Video Music Awards held at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Rich Polk/Billboard via Getty Images) Raye is so talented. And unique -- she has one of those voices where you instantly know it's her. "Where The Hell Is My Husband" is catchy and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing her wail it. ## Dakota Johnson in custom Calvin Klein ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297466847-1790564635.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: Dakota Johnson speaks onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Dakota is in Taylor Swift's new video, so she presented Taylor with the made-up new Artist Director Award (I know mileage varies tremendously on her music, but I do think her videos are lovely and cinematic and fun where fun is required). CK basically made her the simplest thing imaginable for the occasion. ## GENER8ION and Yung Lean ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297472725-1790564780.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: GENER8ION and Yung Lean perform onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) This performance was FABULOUS -- set up like a class photo, where everyone is dancing in place EXCEPT the man singing (I gather this is the video, but done live). Bravo to those dancers. ## Sienna Spiro in Agro Studio ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2296954513-1790564554.jpg) Sienna Spiro performs onstage at 2026 MTV Video Music Awards held at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Rich Polk/Billboard via Getty Images) It's like adorable armor. She won Best New Artist, and this is evocative of the time [Lizzy Gardiner made a gown out of Amex gold cards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American%5FExpress%5FGold%5FCard%5Fdress?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). ## Troye Sivan and Charli XCX ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297471518-1790564706.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: (L-R) Troye Sivan and Charli xcx speak onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) This just looks like they both thought they were done for the night, with Troye set to return to his life of piracy, before someone reminded them to hand out "Best Dance." ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/3228388_VMAS_2026_2473b-1790569490.jpg) Madonna, Troye Sivan and Charli xcx at The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), broadcasting live from the Peacock Theater on Sunday, September 27, 2026 on the CBS Television Network, and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+\*. — Photo: Stewart Cook/CBS ©2026 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Surprise! It's Madonna! She walked all night like her feet hurt -- it felt like these two had to hold her up -- and she did a lot of very weird non-sequiter stuff, though once she got going she sounded okay. It was a mix of the sassy Madonna we know we can count on, and a sign that Mother Time is always undefeated, even with legends. ## Gunna and Shaboozey ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297463791-1790564605.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: (L-R) Gunna and Shaboozey perform onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Shaboozey's first song sounded like "Tipsy Part 2: Tipsier." (Not a complaint; I love "Tipsy.") ## Sombr ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297471460-1790564682.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: Sombr performs onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) He began a tribute to George Michael. He looks fine and also like he's hoping Jacob Elordi will make a movie about him someday. ## Raye ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297471668-1790564735.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: Raye performs onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) This was our next Raye sighting; she did "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)." As usual, she killed it and looked gorgeous. ## Saint Harison, Adam Lambert, mnek, Raye, Meek, Sombr, and Teddy Swims ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/09/GettyImages-2297471905-1790564759.jpg) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 27: (L-R) Saint Harison, Adam Lambert, MNEK, Raye, Meek, Sombr, and Teddy Swims perform onstage during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Peacock Theater on September 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Teddy Swims did "Careless Whisper," and Adam Lambert et al came out for "Freedom '90." Meek down there on the end was GREAT. I was not familiar with her game. Not meek in the slightest.
