The 2015 MTV VMAs were a night where Justin Bieber crying on stage wasn't even a highlight. With an accidental shot of Miley Cyrus' nipple, Kanye West announcing a 2020 presidential run, Taylor Swift making an "Imma let you finish" joke, and Nicki Minaj taking on Cyrus for calling her "not too kind" (and a whole lot else) in The New York Times, it didn't even matter that there wasn't an adorable Blue Ivy Carter moment to get us through the evening.
Pretend like you actually watched the VMAs by catching up, below.
