It was 5 years ago that Lady Gaga rolled up to the MTV Video Music Awards having been nominated a record 13 times – a first in VMA history for a single year.
Aside from becoming the first female artist to receive two video nominations for the year, and ultimately going on to secure 8 awards, it wasn’t really these accolades that made headlines for the Bad Romance singer on the night, rather than her choice for third outfit change.
Before accepting her Video of the Year award, the singer donned the now (in)famous ‘meat dress’, took to the stage, asked Cher to hold her meat purse, and made her acceptance speech.
