See Normani Give Teyana Taylor a Lap Dance in Debut Performance of ‘Wild Side’ at 2021 VMAs What’s your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 Facebook Twitter Email Normani staged the debut live performance of her new single “Wild Side” Sunday at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. In an entirely metallic getup that matched her dancers, Normani delivered a steamy rendition of “Wild Side” where she gave a lap dance to Teyana Taylor while strapped down to a metal contraption. The moment seemingly paid homage to Janet Jackson’s past performances. The singer was a late addition to the VMA performers lineup, with the appearance sparked in part by a grassroots social media campaign that demanded #LetNormaniPerform; she previously performed her song “Motivation” at the 2019 VMAs. “I don’t know where to start with you guys,” Normani tweeted to her fans after her VMA performance was announced. “You’re my heart and soul and have always stuck by me through all the fucking adversities. First shall be the last and the last shall be the first. MY NATION I love youuuuu. Shit bout to be lit IM CRINE.” Related Videos Tweets by TEYANATAYLOR
