Britney Spears was supposed to make her triumphant comeback at the MTV VMAs but unfortunately someone had the terrible idea to put her on stage after Beyonce.

Brit gave it her best shot as she performed her new track Make Me with G-Eazy and his track Me, Myself and I on stage.

She looked smoking hot, there were excellent dance moves and Britney even added in a raunchy crotch grab: it should have been excellent.

Except it followed this:

People predicted it from the minute Bey performed.

And unfortunately they were right.

Many thought it was unfair of MTV to schedule Britney then.

The actual performance itself had some unexpected high points, like, was G-Eazy rejected by Britney live on stage when he tried to kiss her?

Still it was clear that it was all the gorgeous ladies who were the real winners.
