Madonna pretty much put the M into MTV back  when the music television network was just getting started in the ’80s.

“And they said we wouldn’t last, but we are still here, motherfuckers!”

With those words, Madonna opened the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, which along with her iconic 40-year career as the Queen of Pop, is also celebrating the network’s four-decades-long anniversary.

The pop legend nodded to her own arrival in New York City as a 19-year-old with an opening segment. “I told the taxi driver tp take me to the center of it all,” says Madonna in a voice over while riding the cab to Times Square. “I came to New York City with nothing but 35 dollars and a pair of dance shoes. … I was 19 and terrified.”

Celebrating MTV’s birth, Madonna continued: “Forty years ago, another underdog arrived in New York City hoping to create something revolutionary and all music channel premiered in the middle of the night and called itself MTV. We found each other and from from then on changed my life, changed music and created a new art form. That’s why there’s only one place to be tonight.”

The most scandalous music videos ever: Madonna x 2

Madonna News

Madonna, “Like a Prayer,” 1989, and “Justify My Love,” 1990

Long before the likes of Doja Cat, Madonna was a trailblazing pop force both when it came to minting hits and courting scandal. Take for example her one-two punch of “Like a Prayer” and “Justify My Love,” the first of which takes place in and around a church and features shots of burning crosses. “Like a Prayer” unleashed a global debate, and even led Pope John Paul II to call for a boycott of her concerts. Meanwhile, the iconic black-and-white video for “Justify My Love” showcases the pop star getting intimate with a group in a hotel room. MTV banned the video, which Madonna said was hypocritical: “Why is it that people are willing to go and watch a movie about someone getting blown to bits for no reason at all, and nobody wants to see two girls kissing and two men snuggling?”

No doubt, Madonna was the mother of invention for controversy at the VMAs from the moment she writhed across the floor in a white wedding dress singing “Like a Virgin” at the very first ceremony in 1984. But she was still expressing herself in the most shocking of ways 19 years later when she kissed both Spears and Aguilera in a medley of “Like a Virgin” and “Hollywood.” It was a scandalous smooch that even had former Britney beau Justin Timberlake gagging. And there was definitely a lot more heat happening than when Michael Jackson went mouth to mouth with then-wife Lisa Marie Presley in 1994.
