Britney Spears' VMAS performance sends into a frenzy

Britney Spears is an industry veteran who’s performed on the VMAs stage five times before, but the 34-year-old has copped some backlash online for her latest performance.

The singer took to the stage on Aug 28 to perform her newest single “Make Me”. While devoted fans waited eagerly to watch her performance tweeting days before in the lead up, several took to Twitter to declare their disappointment.
