"Um, sad, but that's what she thinks is entertaining," the hosts says The post Megyn Kelly Drags Madonna’s ‘Needy’ VMAs Performance: ‘How Was This Hot?’ appeared first on TheWrap .
During the 2026 Video Music Awards, Madonna faced harsh criticism from host Megyn Kelly for her performance. Kelly described Madonna as "needy" and expressed disbelief at the vulgarity of her opening act, which featured dancers with lasers seemingly emanating from their genital areas. "It's really more of a butt exercise they're simulating if I'm being honest because I don't think most people have sex like that," Kelly stated on her Monday show.
The singer's acceptance speech backfired, as she humorously pretended to retrieve the laser from her rear end. Kelly deemed this portrayal of "class" as "sad," questioning Madonna's motive for such behavior. Madonna's request to raise the microphone to avoid bowing down to it was met with Kelly's skepticism, accusing the star of attempting to portray herself as a victim.
Kelly further criticized Madonna for not lip syncing during her performance, alleging that she was "f**king the audience." The host also pointed out the padding in Madonna's bloomers, stating that they looked unnatural and age-related.
