Megan Thee Stallion set the stage ablaze at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with her heartfelt tributes to Beyonce and Britney Spears.
As host of the 2024 MTV VMAs, Megan Thee Stallion had a lot on her plate, but she made sure to honor two pop culture icons. The Houston rapper stunned the audience by recreating Beyonce’s red, white, and blue outfit from the 2024 Olympic Games introduction of Team USA. Then, she channeled Britney Spears, donning an iconic look from the 2001 VMAs performance of ‘I’m A Slave 4 U,’ complete with a snake that left her visibly shaken. ‘I tried to hold it down for Britney,’ Meg shared.
Megan’s love for her fellow Houston native, Beyonce, is no secret. Her emotional post on Instagram after performing with Queen Bey at the RENAISSANCE tour stop in their hometown showcased her devotion. ‘Yall i have been ugly crying with my lace lifting all weekend lol,’ she wrote. ‘I will never stop screaming about this moment! I have loved @beyonce MY WHOLE LIFE. This means EVERYTHING TO ME!!! I love you [queen bee emoji].’
Although Megan hasn’t publicly expressed much about Britney Spears, her homage at the VMAs spoke volumes. Fans enjoyed her performances, but some are speculating about her personal life after she was seen with Torrey Craig in New York City, sparking new relationship rumors.
Megan’s plans for the rest of 2024 are still under wraps, but she recently dropped a single with RM titled ‘Neva Play.’ Despite the whirlwind of activities, including a full album rollout and brief beef with Nicki Minaj, Megan draws inspiration from the legends to keep pushing forward.
