VMA's Wildest Moments!

It was the lip-lock seen 'round the world: Britney Spears and Madonna -- and, uh, Christina Aguilera -- caught up in a steamy kiss during their opening number at the 2003 VMAs.

As Taylor Swift accepted her award for Best Female Video in 2009, Kanye West stormed the stage and stole her big moment. "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm going to let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he shouted. "One of the best videos of all time!"

Clearly intrigued by Lil' Kim's scandalous ensemble, Diana Ross couldn't help but cop a feel at the 1999 VMAs.

Awkward alert! Pop divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston showed up to present at the 1998 ceremony wearing the same dress. "That's a one of a kind, huh? Fortunately, I come prepared for situations like this," Carey said as she ripped off her skirt.

Long before Britney Spears and Madonna's infamous VMAs smooch, newlyweds Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley shocked the audience when they shared a passionte kiss at the 1994 ceremony.

In what was supposed to be her epic return to the stage, Britney Spears shocked viewers with her lackluster performance of "Gimme More" at the 2007 VMAs. As she breezed through the choreography and lip-synced the words, fellow performers like Kanye West were outraged by her opening number.
