At the MTV VMAs today John Travolta accidentally mistook Drag Race‘s Jade Jolie for Taylor Swift when presenting a win for when You Need To Calm Down for Video of the Year.

Jade was actually in the video doing her best Taytay.

He then realised his mistake just in the nick of time.

At least he didn’t award it to “Adele Dazeem….”

  1. Of course. He is still the gold standard for music videos and the unverified claims made in the HBO doc have never been proven true in court. Wade’s multiple cases after MJ’s death were actually dismissed, and he was praising MJ up until his dead.
