The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards have seemingly taken a page from Barbie’s — and Nicki Minaj’s — book as they roll out the pink carpet this year. Any color of carpet is better than Champagne at this point. Expect to see appearances from stars Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, resident hottie Megan Thee Stallion, and more broadcast live from the Prudential Center. Now let’s get to all the bejeweled celebs walking down that carpet.
