Last night while watching the VMAs, did you feel like it looked kind of empty? Us too. Not only did the arena seem a lot emptier than usual, it seemed like some of the music industry’s biggest stars decided to skip the event altogether. Where in the world did they go instead of the VMAs?
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
Didn’t need to see them there together, obviously. But we sure missed you Sel.
Rihanna and One Direction
^Rihanna’s face was all of ours when we realized they all were not showing up.
Bruno Mars
Bruno, where are you?
Robin Thicke
He wasn’t there. So Miley didn’t twerk.
Lady Gaga
No one else could rock this sea shell bra, so no one dared try.
Justin Timberlake
I guess after having ‘NSYNC show up last year, JT would have felt lonely going without them.
Kanye West
Kim was there. Kanye, where were you?
Pink
GIPHY/MTV
Pink can out-perform 90% of the people who were there last night.
Drake
Started from the bottom, and apparently still there, since he wasn’t here.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Maybe they were thrift store shopping?
And most importantly, where was the The Smith Family?!
They cut to the audience for reactions, and I was devastated to find that without the Smiths, I could not fully comprehend what I was seeing or how I felt about it.
