On August 28, 2011 the VMA's were held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Britney Spears received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for her influence and impact in music.

The award was presented by Lady Gaga in her character of Jo Calderone, giving an introductory speech which was followed by a medley performance by a group of girl dancers, featuring Britney's most iconic outfits throughout her music video career.

Britney and Gaga had a moment of silence onstage, where they exchanged looks while making the audience believe they were gonna kiss (as a reference to Britney and Madonna's kiss in 2003) only for Britney to interrupt saying she "had done that already"

Together they proceeded to introduce Beyoncé's performance

 

That night, Britney also won Best Pop Video for Till the World Ends

The same video was also nominated for Best Choreography, but lost to Beyoncé's Run the World (Girls).

I remember being so pissed about how Britney had to introduce Beyonce right after receiving her award.

I swear, Beyonce must have sold her soul to the devil for everybody to kiss her *** like that.

Beyonka ruined that moment!

The last interview you posted remind me a lot of Primeney 

[HearMeOnYourRadio]

Didn’t she basically invent that award?

Didn't Fran Cooper do her makeup here?  

I also still want to know what beef caused 2:15

I think she was just a bully

You mean the day MTV made Britney introduce Beyoncé instead of focusing on honoring her for making the VMAs watchable

[Oprah Winfrey.]

This is why the fan base hates Beyoncé

I hope Britney shows up to the VMAs today and does a 5 second Hold Me Closer promo and then an additional 5 minute promo for Renaissance as she introduces Beyoncé!
