If there was one moment where ‘girl power’ became rife, it was during last night’s MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, which featured performances by some of the world’s biggest artists, including a stellar 17-minute set from Beyonce.
The comprehensive list of stars gracing the stage also included Jessie J, who, alongside Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, enjoyed the world’s first live performance of their new collaboration Bang Bang, whilst Minaj joined in the fun with Usher on their latest collab She Came to Give It to You.
Meanwhile, Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora jumped onstage for Black Widow, whilst on the pop-front, Sam Smith gave an [unsurprisingly] rousing performance of his global anthem Stay With Me.
