I think "Shake It Off", the best performance of the night is on lock.
I think you're right. Everybody else's either relied too much on gimmicks, or was too boring. I may think that SIO could've been done better, especially with less dancers, but out of everybody else's it was still the best
In a moment of levity, Swift seemed as though she was about to leap off the huge 1989 sign on the stage. Instead, she stopped the song in its tracks, peeked at the plunge and told the audience, "I'm not jumping off of there. People getting bit by snakes, it's ridiculous." It was a sly a nod to the snake-bite mishap that went down during Nicki Minaj's VMA rehearsals over the weekend, and it definitely got a few laughs. Encouraged, Swift then took "Shake It Off" home.
One of the advantages of Taylor Swift releasing a new album every two years is that it pretty much guarantees a VMA performance every even calendar year: Since her Video Music Award debut in 2009, the singer has performed at the MTV award show in 2010, 2012, and now 2014. 1989 arrives October 27th, and if its all as catchy as "Shake It Off," we're guessing Swift will be back at the 2015 VMAs as a nominee and not performer.
Some of you guys might know I was doing the testing from day one. I think this is another video worth repeat. Try to watch it multiple times, you will feel what I felt, and hopefully you will do what I did---pre-ordering 1989.

So embarrassing.
