As a professional dancer I can truly say this brought tears to my eyes. For Missy and for every dancer that has ever felt unappreciated for all of their hard work and what they bring to a performance ❤️

Congratulations on winning the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award Missy!! LOVE YOU!! Also the performance was LIT and easily my favourite of the night. ps: Michael Jackson made MTV. How pathetic you could be to conveniently not mention the King's name or try to drop his name. Shame on you MTV.
