![]() Taylor Swift opened the show with a re-creation of her Pride float of a music video for “You Need to Calm Down,” and as her squad of queers vogued and snapped, the lyrics of her song popped in the air. The possibility of CGI was on the table, given what else happened in the evening. But part of the time spent watching it involved wondering whether that was a giant ass balloon behind her, or if it was giant-ass CGI. Lizzo’s performance was raging, luminous, inspirational, talent-packed-the best set of the show. Two disembodied mounds, joined by a red strip, undulated with a kind of merry disregard for the music’s rhythm, like a farm animal might when in sight of a square dance. Certain famous women get pestered with a crass question: “Is that ass real?” Viewers may have said those words aloud during Lizzo’s performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, but for very defensible reasons: Behind the singer/rapper and dancers, there bobbed a big butt.
