Double Tap to Zoom

The 2019 VMAs were made for the internet. From Lizzo's colossal booty balloon to the moment Missy Elliott brought out a grown-up Alyson Stoner to recreate “Work It,” the ceremony was packed with meme-able moments.

Of course, everyone was holding out for Normani to take the stage after she dropped her epic ode to music video history. Needless to say, her “Motivation” performannce did its job and the internet is still reeling.
