00:26 Typical.
00:27 - Oh my goodness.
00:28 - Other than Sel trolling her own pic,
00:31 it was a good night for the BFFs.

01:11 (audience cheering)
01:14 - She's been in my life for so long,
01:15 we're kinda like sisters at this point.
01:17 - But Selena later shared this message on her Insta story,

01:24 I'd rather sit still than be dragged for being myself.
01:27 Much love."
01:28 - I feel like this time,
01:30 I'm just so confident and comfortable,
01:33 and I feel free more than I've ever felt in my whole life.
01:36 - While Sel didn't elaborate on all that,

02:22 - Yeah, Saweetie, who co-hosted MTV's live pre-show,
02:26 stumbled a bit over her words
02:28 while reading the teleprompter.
02:30 - Coming your way right after the break,
02:32 and you're not gonna wanna miss what we have upcoming

02:47 It's me again, and y'all better stop
02:49 making my little stutter video go viral.
02:51 I see what you're doing.
02:52 Anyways, let's try it again.
02:54 - Despite any meme-able memories,
02:57 it was still a great night,
