Nicki Minaj opened the 2015 VMAs on a throne, reigning above her subjects/backup dancers and reminding everyone that she is not to be messed with.
Even if you're Taylor Swift, you have to make nice. The superstars officially, officially put an end to the most documented Twitter feud in pop star history when Swift joined Minaj on stage while Minaj was performing "The Night is Still Young."

Swift emerged from the throne in a fringy red outfit befitting a pop princess, a crimson that matched Minaj's regal ensemble. They performed "Bad Blood" -- just some random Taylor Swift song. There was no other motivation there.
Be sure to rewatch over and over again because you'll miss some truly heartwarming moments if you're busy screaming.
