Gaga started off her tribute by mentioning how “Britney taught me how to be fearless, .. She’s a pop legend and the industry wouldn’t be the same without her, Throughout the years, Britney has given us some of the most iconic music videos of our time.”

Lady Gaga took the stage at the 2011 MTV VMAs as her male alter-ego Jo Calderone to present the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award to Britney Spears. The two divas almost locked lips, teasing the audience before Britney moved back joking “No, I’ve done that already!” referring to her famous kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV VMAs.
