While Taylor Swift may have been the big winner, she wasn’t the only talk of the night.
She may not have taken home the Best Video of the night, but she did nab the award for Best Hip-Hop Video for “Anaconda,” which is off of Nicki’s latest album The Pinkprint. “Anaconda” racked up a whopping 19.6 million views in its first 24 hours, setting a new VEVO record. On her way off the stage addressed on more thing … “And now… back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press,” Nicki said. “Miley, what’s good?”
