12 VMA Squads You Need To Sneak Your Way Into
Last year at the MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift's squad ruled the carpet. But this year, a plethora of squads took over the white carpet and the stage at New York's Madison Square Garden, and we're all the better for it.
Whether they consist of bands, Olympians, musicians, or a combination, these are the squads to join before next year's VMAs.
The Final Five (Minus One)
Olympians Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez, and Simone Biles lived everyone's dream at the VMAs, meeting Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian West, and more. Fifth member Gabby Douglas was unfortunately recuperating and couldn't make the event.
