It's not Beyonce's fault that MTV decided to do what was best for Beyonce or Rihanna.
MTV no longer has the relationship they had with Britney in the 2000s because it's a new crew.
MTV awarded her in 2008 for piece of me to make up for the bomt, oops, slave, toxic snubs
MTV awarded her in 2011 with the vanguard before any of her peers because she has the most iconic videos and performances.
It's obviously shady for them to put Britney after Beyonce the way it would be to put any A lister right after another.
They usually start A list then go down with up and comers and bring back an A lister then close with an a lister.
MTV owes Britney nothing and Britney owes MTV nothing.
I think this year should be the last time Britney performs at the VMAs but if she wanted to do it again MTV will make sure she does it again. If Britney and her team told MTV that she wants to open or close the show or preferred a specific timeslot I'm sure MTV would oblige.
I don't think Britney and her team cared about the specifics in 2011 and 2016 which is why we got what we got.
Both sides benefited over the years...Britney is not the victim of "betrayal"
She didn't really care when she was going on because she just cared about promoting make me WHICH REMAINS top 2 on itunes
