Welcome back to Evolution of a Snake. In today's episode, The Snakes recount the many events that happened during MTV's lifeless carcass: the VMAs. It was, for once, a semi-exciting year with many gag-worthy performances. Taylor Swift's fashion choices are of course, dissected and cheered over, as are her interesting Tayvis Pilled speeches. Elsewhere: this year is declared as the SabMA's, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter's deeply referential and iconic medley. Chappell Roan gets her Joan of Arc flowers without an untimely fiery end, and Katy Perry is booed for being herself. A gorgeously edited version of this will be on the YouTube this Sunday.

Yes. Good morning, divas! 🐍💕

lizzie

unfortunately she did say “my boyfriend adam” but we ignore that

Posting this the morning after, no-days-off-ologist working hard!

I really appreciate y’all emphasizing Chappell’s love & respect for queer people in The Midwest. I’m gay and, like her, from Missouri. It’s difficult at times to relate to queer artists from the coasts who seem to have it much easier, and even though I “got out” and now live in Chicago/travel for work, I feel such an admiration for the gays that can’t afford to or don’t want to leave where they’re from. They don’t have to move to a big city to prove their queerness is valid. I’m so glad kids in flyover country have someone like her to look up to now.

I don’t think Sabrina has worked with Dan? Maybe I’m mistaken but I don’t think so…do you know what they supposedly worked on?

The second we heard Eminem was performing my fiance and I called it that he would win an award. Mr. Misogynist has claimed for years he refuses to go to awards shows bc the awards are rigged and in hypocritical fashion showed up for one. I was happy to hear you divas trash talk him.

Hey Evolution Of A Snake, 2010 called and it wants its deeply Katy Perry phobic jokes back. How about we lift hard working women up instead of calling this horse shit FuNnY. And Netflix, after Miss Americana this isn’t a look on you. Happy womens history month I guess 💔

Angelic Mars

“Lift up hard working women” she’s working with a rapist mind you

lorena

i cried when Chappell won, her speech was so full of love and proudness and i hope she felt how much the community and music fans love her <333 she's a star! loved the episode and i agree with everything except the attraction to Benson Boone (James what was that?)

Rae

I don't think you meant to, but saying that Chappell's messaging to queer kids hits harder than Gaga bc she's gay insinuates that Gaga's bisexuality isn't as valid as Chappell's homosexuality- I love you guys, I just think this was a worded badly.

chappell roan

and on march, womens history month too 💔. i can really do it with a broken heart

Cynthia

Taylor will no longer give any performances for "free"...that's just my opinion about how Taylor thinks of herself now-- she is just SO huge

Terry B

VMA=TVMA 😉 the evil twitch put on 4 ads in her speech 😭 🌋

let’s raise minimum wage for students to improve chance for success education and mobility freedom 🤗🤗 Roan of Arc 🌟

One thing that's interesting about this era's fashion it is sometimes hard to distinguish from Rep because of the timing of her album cycle and the re-records project, the colors, and kind of an edginess that are associated with both albums. I think she did a great job of really saying "y'all this is POETS, not rep!" with her dress last night, but even still it's funny that her best, clearest way to do that is with such a literal and obvious print associated with a specific song on ttpd. You know if she just wore black and white then people would have been clowning 1000x harder for rep tv than some already were lol. Super gorgeous dress though!

Nora Phillips

i was waiting for the mermaid swift comment and the snakes did not disappoint. BRAVA

Rachel

Yeah I don't think she'll do it until at least the dust from Era's has fully settled. Which is such a bummer, some of those award show performances can be so iconic!

Ash Owens

I would have been seated for a gorgina performance of Diet Pepsi thank uuu

Rebecca Mueller

The big issue people were having with the drag queen who dressed as Chappell is that she tweeted saying she thought Chappell’s love and dedication for drag seemed performative and fake a few months ago so people thought she dressed as her ironically. There was a video though of her and Chappell speaking after the red carpet and it seemed they were both friendly

Roh

Was about to comment the same—I don’t think people would have cared if it was any other queen because many of Chappell’s outspoken fans are very familiar with drag culture.

LH

Now why didn’t Blake hit up Taylor to be her hair model? The chiefs game, the tennis game, the VMAs-all GREAT hair looks.

Boden

I saw a blind item on twitter that Taylor didn’t know there would be a dedicated cam right by her and she wanted a few drinks
