At the first VMA's in 1984, Madonna was one of the first performers. She wore a wedding gown like dress, but it was bustier and had a white shredded tutu, and even accessorized with lace gloves, fierce heels, chunky jewelry, and a veil that did not manage to stay put on her head for very long. Madonna introduced her performance by dancing on a giant wedding cake.
Throughout the performance, Madonna showed some provocative dance moves such as humping her veil and even showed a glimpse of her panties to a live TV audience! Madonna proved that she can do more than they thought she would be capable of; she was really gutsy out there! The audience had a mix reaction, some found her performance amazing, but some found it absolutely appaling.
Madonna's appearance at the VMAs became a history-making performance! The MTV awards wanted to be different from all the other ones such as the Grammy's, and after Madonna's performance, it totally worked. It definitely went "against the grain." In twenty-three years, MTV's viewership has grown from a subscriber base of 2.5 million to 375 million, and the budget for the VMAs is eight times what it was in 1984. Overall, no one's performance at the VMA's has ever been more shocking than Madonna's panties showing performance!
