I missed this show so much omg. Picking up my food now, about to shower, smoke and enjoy the video on this rainy, cold night while I simultaneously stare at my fall decorations I put up yesterday lmao☺️

[@iggyvonmoon]

Actually me trying to stay sane. I don’t think these drag artists know how therapeutic they are they are literally superheroes

[@MarcusMartn]

A whole vibe

[@quintinsmith10]

Literally sounds like an awesome night!

[@samanthapartido4755]

"imagine being the person who wrote 'I will always love you'" . ......You mean Dolly Parton?

[@davidefitnessREAL]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! How can they not know who wrote it ?? It’s like the most famous song in the MADAFUKKIN world!

[@theonlygaymer4740]

I don't think she's insinuating she doesn't know who wrote it. Monet also said imagine being the person who wrote "all I want for christmas is you"

[@xx-zp4mj]

[@gatorboydomino]

She means imagine being Dolly Parton. Not, I don't know who wrote "I will always love you".

Santanaaaa❤❤❤

[@davidefitnessREAL]

By the way PATTY was right: Acronym is when you can read the letters as a word like RADAR, or NATO or NIMBY etc. Initialism is when you “spell” the letters like BLT, CBS, or OTT etcetera. I don’t know why Monét didn’t ask HEY SIRY! 😂😂😂

[@ShadeMcConnell]

Missed this so much!!!!

[@theOstenHugo]

Hurl..🤮 ...OMG I NEVER LAUGHED SO FUCKING HARD! and when you said “Good for you Lil Nas X, not shadin you but.... *13* ?!?!?! 😂😂😂🤣😂

The Billboard awards are all based on numbers. And there are a lot of categories so people always have a lot of nominations.

[@fabriannnaa6788]

Facts are completely wrong about Tory hunny.

[@Newsflashbucko]

I'm not

[@PLEBEJones]

This dude why am I hearing this garbage. Lol block me please

[@jaypea2930]

I can't when the N-word is used, especially in this current climate.

[@theonlygaymer4740]

Monet is black though...lol she has every right to use the word

[@jaypea2930]

Robert Clark. The fact that Miss Monet is black means she should know better. That N word was not invented as a nice hello, it was invented to oppress, degrade, demean, belittle and crush the very essence of poc’s. We haven’t reclaimed the N word as something positive when it’s still used by us and other ethnicities as a means to tare black people and those who identify as black down and look at them as less than. And, in this current climate where the very head of state believes we are that, it’s even more important to consign the N word to history. Our forefathers and mothers weren’t bound in chains and whipped like animals and called that word for us to turn around and use it in the same connotation to which it was intended. I respect people have their opinions on the use of it, I do. But if there has been any time when those who use the N word have used it to cuss someone out, you’re perpetuating the exact same connotation that word was invented for towards those who we should be standing side by side with to fight discrimination, prejudice and racism, not just for ourselves, but all POC’s.
