the performance was so good, omfg
Ari was a bit out of breath in the beginning towards the middle, but she totally recovered right near Nicki's part all the way till the end. her stage presense also slayed. homegirl served aesthetic, vocals, exercise, coochie licking, gay man looking hot as hell, all in one 3 minute performance. whew!
& she also looked incredible, her outfit, body, & ponytail was SNATCHED honey
& Nicki did look kinda like she didnt have much energy, but their chemistry is always cute and you can tell even whatever you have going on, being on stage with someone you genuinely like can brighten up your mood a bit regardless.
all in all, it was a pretty really, really, reaalllyy ****ing good performance. she has never done anything like this before and i hope it continues. Ari has truly came into her own as a performer and it's just truly wonderful & incredible to watch as the years in her career go buy.
like, who knew that shy, timid, & kinda awkward on stage girl in 2013 would go to serving charisma & hotness AND great stage presence at the ****ing VMAs, AMAs, & other award shoes.
i just, i just love her so much & i'm so proud of her. she seems so happy and this performance was just icing on the beautiful cake this era has been (even without all the messy releases/radio add dates, etc) involved.
she did that
