10 Most Shocking MTV Awards Moments

4. Lady GaGa Makes A Fashion Statement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlGcICNbdtw Lady GaGa made her VMAs debut in 2009, where she arrived on the red carpet with Kermit The Frog as her date. That night she gave a dramatic rendition Paparazzi which culminated in her hanging from the ceiling covered in fake blood. An average night for Lady GaGa, we're sure you agree. However, it was a year later at the 2010 Video Music Awards that GaGa made one of the most iconic appearances of her career, not for her live performance but for her fashion choice as she arrived at the ceremony in a dress made entirely out of raw meat. It wasn't just her dress, though, she also wore boots made of meat and even a steak on her head as a kind of meaty beret. GaGa later explained that the outfit was actually a statement about the Don't Ask Don't Tell act forbidding gay soldiers from fighting openly in the US military, which at that time she was campaigning to repeal. She explained to Ellen DeGeneres, who is vegan, after the ceremony, "If we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones".
