Practically anything goes at the MTV Video Music Awards. No, seriously, anything. With each passing year, there’s always something outrageous that goes down at this awards show. Last year was Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke; and this year is, well, everything you’re about to read:

Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift’s opening performance.
