Megan Thee Stallion's Risque AMAs Performance Shook The Internet
Going into the 2020 American Music Awards, it was clear Megan Thee Stallion was going to give a performance for the books. Her debut album, Good News, came out just two days before the ceremony, and the world waited with bated breath to see the performance that would christen "Hot Girl" Meg's new era. It wasn't just fans that were curious about what the rapper would pull off; ABC censors were reportedly concerned with how risqué the live performance might be.
While the performance was certainly a bit risqué, fans were anything but disappointed in Megan Thee Stallion's appearance. The rapper took the stage to perform her newest single, "Body." The performance began with a monologue wherein Megan pledged to love her body, no matter what. The rapper then descended a staircase and met a crew of dancers, giving an incredibly energetic performance of the new song.
Expectations for the performance were high, but if Twitter is any indication, Megan Thee Stallion more than met them.
