The 40th-anniversary celebration of the MTV Video Music Awards saw a spectacular lineup of artists, from Eminem and Katy Perry to Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes, all having stunning performances. Moreover, lighting up the stage, the host for the night, Megan’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, powering up the entire event. The energy and excitement were so infectious that it went beyond the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, reaching as far as Miami, to Gabrielle Union and her sister, Tracy. The two sent a special message to the rapper as well.

Gabrielle and Tracy Union paid homage to the rapper, grooving to one of her hit songs, “Mamushi“. Before replicating the smooth, sharp choreography of Megan’s performance, the Union sisters declared they were ready! “Somebody tell Megan we ready,” Union captioned the clip on her IG story.

Ready to groove to even more of her hits, such as “Hiss,” “Rattle,” and many others from her latest album, Megan, perhaps? Apart from her hosting gig, the rapper also snagged an award for the most trending song with “Mamushi” and took home another award for Best Art Direction in “BOA.” To her followers, Union asked, “Did me @t-to-the-u made @thestallion proud?” The two surely did.

Throughout the night, Megan kept the energy high with her electrifying performances of her hit songs. She also introduced Japanese artist Yuki Chiba, who has featured in “Mamushi.” This was his first appearance at the VMAs. 

Since it was the 40-year celebration, there was some nostalgic flair to the evening as well. Holding a snake for a few seconds, Megan also paid tribute to Britney Spears’ iconic 2001 performance of Slave 4 U in 2001. “I love New York, I can’t wait to be there again and eat all the food, and I’m excited for people to see what I bring to the table while hosting,” Megan told People Magazine. Nonetheless, Gabrielle Union admiring the 29-year-old rapper is nothing new.

Dwyane Wade’s wife was also present at the LA concert, part of the rapper’s Hot Girl Summer Tour. After vibing with Megan and GloRilla, Union joined the stars for a quick backstage greeting. For the LA concert night, the actress wore a black blazer paired with a blue top underneath, which she styled with black trousers. Posing next to her was the Hiss rapper. 

“Real hot girl sh*t,” Union captioned her IG Story. She also posted several snippets from the concert. We can surely expect to see her at the rapper’s next promised concert. Even if miles away, Union and Tracy had to join in for the fun.

The previous two events were hosted by Nicki Minaj, but this time it was up to the 3x Grammy Award winner, who ensured the energy extended well beyond New York.
