Between the VMAs on Sunday and the Met Gala on Monday, it goes without saying it's been an insanely busy few days on Music Twitter. Oh, and as for *that* Nicki Minaj tweet? I think it's best we pretend that never happened, okay, Barbs? Check out the latest edition of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Arlo Parks, and plenty of other favorites!

LIL NAS X CELEBRATED INTO THE NIGHT AFTER THE VMAS

Lil Nas X really was the king of the VMAs, huh? From his performance of "INDUSTRY BABY," to winning Video of the Year for "MONTERO," the Twitter legend had an incredible evening. Oh, and it seems his celebrations didn't end at Barclays Center, at least if this paparazzi footage is to be believed! LMAO!

 

JACK HARLOW AND LIL NAS X REUNITED AT THE MET GALA

Is anyone else absolutely living for Jack Harlow and Lil Nas X's friendship? Fresh off performing "INDUSTRY BABY" together at the VMAs, the besties were reuniting once again on Monday at the Annual Illuminati Conference – sorry – the Met Gala. P.S. 509 unread texts? I know you're busy, Jack, but really?

 

ARLO PARKS GOT TWITTER LOVE FROM TAYLOR SWIFT

It's no secret we're absolutely massive fans of Arlo Parks here at We Are: The Guard, so we were obviously ridiculously excited to see the British artist scoop the Mercury Prize on Friday. We weren't the only ones celebrating her win, however, with *Taylor freaking Swift* also sending Arlo some Twitter love!

 

CHLÖE ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS AT THE VMAS

Chlöe Bailey ate and left not a single crumb at the VMAs on Sunday. No, really – I knew her debut live performance of "Have Mercy" was going to be big, but I didn't expect it to be "the next Beyoncé gig." The way she ran up to embrace Halle straight after getting off stage, too? I HAVE A LOT OF EMOTIONS!

 

HALLE BAILEY WAS A SUPERSTAR AT THE MET GALA

There's been a lot of media attention surrounding her older sister of late, but Halle Bailey was quick to remind us she's still a superstar in her own right on Monday at the Met Gala. The Disney princess was out here looking pretty in pink in Rodarte, and to top it all off? Ariel finally got to meet Snow White!

 

TRAVIS BARKER OVERCAME HIS FEAR OF FLYING

Whatever your thoughts are on Kourtney Kardashian, you have to hand it to the Keeping up With the Kardashians star – she's been totally amazing for Travis Barker. It's great to see the blink-182 drummer finally overcoming his trauma and facing his fear of flying after all of these years. Long may it continue!

 

DOJA CAT WAS THE BEST VMAS HOST IN YEARS

Singer? Dancer? HOST? Doja Cat really is the definition of a triple threat! Oh, and can we also agree the "You Right" singer was undoubtedly the best presenter the VMAs has had in years? She was cool, calm, and collected, not to mention brought some crazy looks. Chair hats and gigantic chicken feet forever!

 

TROYE SIVAN WAS WORKING IT AT THE MET GALA

YOU BETTER WORK, B*TCH! It's safe to say Troye Sivan understood the assignment at this year's Met Gala. Wearing a dress was nothing short of a power move, and don't get me started on the "Angel Baby" musician's chunky platform boots! I'm definitely going to need lessons on how to walk in those!

 

OUTKAST CELEBRATED 18 YEARS OF "HEY YA!"

That shocking moment when you realize it's been nearly two decades since Outkast dropped "Hey Ya!" Excuse me while I go and have a midlife crisis. Jokes aside – it feels like only yesterday my tweenage self was shaking it like a polaroid picture to this song. Why oh why was life so much simpler back then?

 

BRITNEY SPEARS TOOK A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

WE LOVE YOU, BRITNEY SPEARS!
