2. Miley Cyrus Twerking on Robin Thicke (and Everywhere Else) at the 2013 VMAs: Miley said she wanted to put on a performance that got everyone talking at the 2013 VMAs...and she didn't disappoint. During the performance, the singer twerked all over the place, including on Robin Thicke, wagged her tongue and stripped down to a nude bra and butt-baring bottoms. We kind of just stared at the TV after the performance was over.
3. Britney Spears Kissing Madonna at the 2003 VMAs: During Christina Aguilera, Madonna and Britney's performance of "Hollywood" during the show, Britney and Madonna shared one heck of a kiss on the lips that made everyone forget Christina was even on stage. For good measure, cameras cut away to her ex Justin Timberlake's reaction after the smooch went down (The kiss comes in at about 4:19).
4. Lady Gaga Picks Up Her Award in a Meat Dress at the 2010: We've seen Lady Gaga in some crazy outfits before, but her meat dress at the 2010 VMAs was definitely her most shocking to date. After accepting the award for Video of the Year for "Bad Romance," Gaga popped up on stage wearing a dress, hat, boots and a purse made entirely of raw meat.
5. Lil Mama Crashes Jay Z and Alicia Keys' New York State of Mind Performance: To this day, we have no idea what made Lil' Mama think it was a good idea to jump on stage and join Alicia Keys and Jay Z during their performance of "Empire State of Mind." To make the moment even more shocking, she posed with them at the end of the stage as if she was supposed to be there. It's clear she thought she was.
