The 2013 VMAs are set to kick off August 25th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In the big apple, you have to do everything BIG. Expect your favorite stars to bring their A game and pull out their best stunts. We love the VMAs for delivering some of the most shocking moments of the year, so we’ve predicted 8 epic things we think might happen this year. Brace yourselves. — Terry Carter Jr.
1. Miley Cyrus will make out with Rihanna
Miley has admitted that RiRi is her girl crush. Rihanna returned the love when she was approached by TMZ telling them “tell Miley to call me”. Not only would their kiss shock the audience, it would make these two ladies dreams come true.

2. Amanda Bynes Meets Drake
Amanda Bynes has a love hate relationship with Drake. The troubled actress has done everything from confess her desires for the Toronto rapper to “murder her vagina” to calling him the cute on mag covers. What would make Amanda more happier than crashing Drake’s VMA set, Lil Mama style, during the VMAs? We don’t know.

3. Justin Timberlake delivers X-Rated performance
After watching Justin’s new video for “Tunnel Vision”, we know JT has a love for nudity. Imagine the talk he would get by pulling off a live version of those visuals. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time Timberlake exposed someone on stage (Janet Jackson nipple gate, anyone?)

4. Gaga goes ‘gaga’.
Lady Gaga has a new single coming out August 19th, aka just in time for the VMA’s. You can definitely expect the off the wall singer to pull out a couple tricks up her sleeve for the awards ceremony this year. After her meat dress and her transgender appearance in previous years, what could she possibly do to top herself? Tune in to find out.

5. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will perform ‘Same Love’ with Elton John
“Same Love” is one of the most inspirational songs about LGBT equality and we hope to see Macklemore and Ryan Lewis bring out openly gay pop icon, Sir Elton John to play the piano during this performance. There wouldn’t be a dry eye in the audience.

6. Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce will scorch the stage.
You can’t come to Hov’s house (Barclays) without Hov being invited. This would be the most epic performance of the night. Jay could start off with his “Holy Grail” collab with Justin and end his set with “Part II” bringing out Mrs. Carter to shut the house down. Sounds far fetched? Maybe a little, but we can dream right?

7. Miguel and Prince duet
Miguel has constantly be dubbed the ‘new school Prince’ and he has always shared his admiration for the legendary singer. It would be dope to see these two artists come together and bring an electric performance to the Barclays stage.

8. Taylor Swift will diss Yeezus during her acceptance speech.
The country-pop singer tweeted “Two VMA nominations!! If you vote and get us one, I promise to keep a firmer grip on the mic this time ;)”. Clearly, Taylor still hasn’t gotten over Kanye’s, “I’ma let you finish…” speech. Expect a jab at Ye, if she wins.
