Rapper Jack Harlow took flight to open the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday before coming away with an early victory. Harlow kicked off his performance inside a mock airplane walking down aisle while performing his hit song “First Class,” which was sampled by Fergie’s “Glamorous.” The rapper joined Fergie onstage – wearing a sparkling silver dress with the red words “First Class” – who sang her 2006 jam. Lizzo had Taylor Swift dancing out of her seat while she performed her new single “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready).” The VMAs are being being held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
