1. Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake were basically royalty in the late ’90s. This photo of them at the VMAs in 2000 looks more like a prom pic than an award show. Adorbs.
2. Beyonce & Jay Z are the GOAT couple of every award show.
3. 2003 was a great year for 50 Cent. He and Vivica A. Fox were a sexy couple before things went awry.
4. Kanye West & Amber Rose at the 2009 VMAs will forever go down in history.
5. Chris Brown & Rihanna were the “IT” couple of 2007. They even hit the stage to perform “Umbrella” together at the VMAs that same year.
6. 2005 was such a different time. Ciara was virtually unknown to the masses, and Shad Moss was Bow Wow with a ponytail.
7. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were just kids when they hit the VMA red carpet together in 2011.
8. Ice T & Coco always bring lots of energy, wherever they go.
9. Who knew back in 2007 that Katy Perry would be a huge star and Travis McCoy would be missing in action?
10. Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey were the cutest couple in Hollywood before reality TV fame. Here they are at the 2005 VMAs during happier times.
