Did John Travolta Almost Give Taylor Swift's "VMA" to a Drag Queen?
Last night's"MTV Video Music Awards"were held in New Jersey . . . Travolta's home state. So they brought him out to present Video of the Year with another New Jersey native,QUEEN LATIFAH.
And he actually made a joke about his classic "Adele Dazeem" flub from the Oscars, when he handed Latifah the envelope and said, quote, "I shouldn't do this, because I'll just mispronounce [stuff] and [eff] [stuff] up."
It was a funny joke, and it got a good laugh.
So Latifah announced the winner, which was"You Need to Calm Down" by TAYLOR SWIFT. And Taylor brought her LGBT squad from the video up onstage with her.
And it looks like Travolta accidentally tried to handthe trophy to a DRAG QUEEN by the name of Jade Jolie. (!!!)
To be fair, Jade does a pretty mean Taylor Swift . . . and even plays her in the video.(here). So it's not the worst mistake he could make. Still, people are having funwith it.
Here were some of the other big winners:
Ariana Grande was Artist of the Year . . .Billie Eilish won Best New Artist . . ."Sucker"by the Jonas Brothers won Best Pop . . . and"Money"by Cardi B won Best Hip Hop.
