20 GIFs to Get You Pumped for the VMAs

The MTV VMAs isn't just an award show — it's a pop culture event.

The memorable moments from the VMAs influence late-night party discussions and inspire SNL skits for years after the ceremony. So prepare a slot in the pop culture trivia part of your brain for new memories on Sunday.

Something crazy is bound to happen at this year's show, and the possibilities are endless.

1. Miley Cyrus is going through her weird phase.

Will she try to one-up her video by twerking with actual bears?
2. The 'N Sync performance rumor could still be true.

Until the show ends Sunday night, there's no reason to give up hope.
3. Maybe it's a cover for a Backstreet Boys reunion.

It could happen.
4. Or both boy bands will unite and perform with One Direction.

Let's be honest, it wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen at the VMAs.
5. Even if 'N Sync doesn't show, we're guaranteed JT.

His presence can make up for any disappointment.
6. Katy Perry is going to sit next to Lady Gaga.

Will they sit in icy silence, scratch each other's eyes out with elaborately decorated nails, or work together to create a Perez Hilton voodoo doll?
7. There could be another big celebrity reveal.

Beyonce used the VMAs as a platform to tell the world she was finally having a baby -- who knows what big announcement a celeb is saving for Sunday.
8. There's always the possibility of snakes.

Which means the doors are open for almost any kind of wildlife. Still looking at you, Miley.
9. Lady Gaga will be performing

Love her or hate her, the woman can certainly put on a show.
10. Taylor Swift could take revenge.

With Kanye performing, it might be the perfect opportunity for Miss Swift to interrupt him.
11. There's potential for surprise kisses.

It's been ten years since the Britney/Madonna lip-lock, so who knows what mash-up they're planning this year. Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars?
12. Macklemore

And for all we know, he could perform in a onesie.
13. It's in Brooklyn.

To pay tribute to the local culture, ushers and security might have to wear flannel and slouchy ski caps, while the stars will be served only craft beer and kombucha .
14. Alternate identities may be revealed.

In 2011 Lady Gaga showed up as Jo Calderone, who knows which celebrity alter-ego might come out this year.
15. It's provided a platform for pop culture history.

Madonna in the wedding dress, Britney with the snake, Taylor with the gasp of surprise -- these are moments people still talk about, and they all happened during past VMAs.
16. Jimmy Fallon is presenting.

When he hosted in 2002 he performed as Avril Lavigne, Nelly, and Eminem, so there's precedent for awesomeness.
17. This marks the 30th anniversary of the VMAs.

Anniversary shows are always better.
18. There's no host, so there's more time for music.

Plus, minimal awkward jokes
19. There will be amazing fashion.

This is the show that brought us Lady Gaga's meat dress and Lil Kim's pastie.
20. There is a strong chance we'll see some performance stunts.

This could be the year we're presented with an army of Beyonces.
