H-Town Takeover At The MTV VMA Awards

in #music5 years ago (edited)

Houston native and rap star Megan Thee Stallion. Yeah she's tall. I read that she was 5ft 10 but she says she's 6ft 2in! Maybe with heels::

Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!

Last month I did a post about a Texas girl, here, who is a rising star on the rap scene. Her name is Megan Thee Stallion.

Well, actually her real name is Megan Pete so you can see why she wanted a more unique stage name. Not that there's anything wrong with the name Pete, but not attention grabbing.

Anyway, she didn't get invited to perform on the main stage at the MTM VMA(video music awards) a few days ago but she DID get invited to perform on the stage of the pre-awards show outside the building.

It's still a big deal for such a new artist. And she was also invited to introduce another performer on the main stage later that night.

She's skyrocketing to the top

To say she's a sensation is probably an understatement. That's why some are saying it was an H-Town Takeover(she's from Houston). People went nuts for her and she also won the VMA for best Power Anthem for her hit Hot Girl Summer.

For the VMA show she didn't perform that song which I thought was interesting, instead she performed her earlier hit called Big Ole Freak. lol..

Here's the video for that one in case you're curious but I gotta warn you it almost needs an nsfw warning because she's known for her twerking!

Here's Megan on the Red Carpet at the VMA's:

One thing that sets her apart is that she's trying to make a big fashion statement as well as a music one. Here she's wearing a fake diamond studded outfit and you can't tell by this photo but they said she sparkled, shined and lit up the place with that.

Later her fans went bananas while she clowned around with them before her performance:

For this segment she wore a Louis Vuitton "suit" with vintage patches sewed on.

And here she is performing on the stage outside the main building, doing her twerking thing:

Later, inside at the main show she dazzled with another stunning fashion eye-opener while working as an introducer:

When Megan first got started she was super unique because many times she dressed as a sort of cowgirl, even rode horses at some events.

Well, she's still super unique but I think she might be getting away from the cowgirl imaging. Either way she's catapulting to the stars and next year she'll be on the main stage at the VMA's.

I think. I know nothing about rap music and can't ever understand a word they say but I think it's fun to watch a Texas girl go from nothing to super stardom in such a short time. Plus she's so smart in her marketing of herself.

Here's Megan at another show making more fashion impressions, she has many different looks:

I know she's creating a fashion empire as she rises. By the time she hits the top of her genre her name on a clothing line will sell like hot cakes. She probably already has designers working on her line.

She's either a brilliant entrepreneur, or has one running things behind the scenes.

Now we just need her to do a hit song and video about Steem. Have a bunch of Steemians twerking. lol.

I don't understand a lot of the lyrics for many of the songs I listen to! lol.

Good for her to see her reach some success. That must be a tiresome, never ending thing to do.

Howdy sir wwiebe! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has trouble it lyrics! I agree, it would be exhaustive but she's driven and she's having so much fun and making so much money that it doesn't feel like work I'm sure!

You seem to be using older version of eSteem!

I know, I've tried to get the newer versions to work on my desktop for 6 months now, tried everything and the only version that works is the first one or whichever 1.1.12 is.

Really, what is the error message if you get error while installing new version? Have you tried to install from here https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-surfer/releases/tag/2.2.0

Yes sir I've tried to install it from that link. I get an error that says..."RPC error: trx.expiration" and then a bunch of numbers.

Error is because of transaction expiring which means your Date & Time on device might be off by few seconds. I would suggest to set it to Automatically or make sure it is close to actual time. This should resolve trx.exp issue.

oh, that would be amazing if the problem was that easy to fix! This computer is off by a couple of minutes so I'll set it and try to reload the latest version, thanks so much!

Are you obsessed with her? lol Do you twerk? lol A video of you twerking will go viral - I am sure. lol 😎

lol! You're just jealous that you can't twerk! No, actually what first got my attention was that she brilliantly used her Western and cowgirl imaging in her marketing which immediately made her stand out. I mean, who ever heard of a cowgirl hip hop rapper??
So since then it's easy to find out how it's going because she's smokin hot right now on the rap scene...which I don't folow but I keep seeing her in the headlines while I'm reading other things.

Also, I post about her because you can't get any more opposite from my own personality and culture. lol. I like to mix it up. That way people don't know what to expect. That could be good or bad, I don't know! But if I tried to twerk I'd probably fall over backwards!

What makes you think I can't twerk. 😎 Oh okay, so you are not obsessed with her. You just want to complicate things by posting different things so people don't know the real you. I wonder what else about you that are you hiding. hmm..... 😎

lol! I just find different things to be interesting. Of course it also causes me to have a constant stream of people unfollowing me too because I will post about something that I normally don't post about like sculptures...then people into that will follow me. Then I go back to telling Western stories and they unfollow me. lol. So almost daily I have someone unfollowing me because of that or they get offended with my posts or comments.

Are you sure they didn't unfollow you because of your snide remarks. 😂

What?? i have no idea what you're talking about sir Vincent! lol.

Her face seems to be part Asian or maybe I'm just bias haha.

lol...it COULD be Oatmeal, I have no idea but I think I see it too!

Some people are mixed, so it is possible or I'm just seeing things.

I think you have a good eye for things like that, I'm sure that you've met so many people of mixed heritages that you can pick up on that sir Oatmeal.

As kids, we may not even notice it until our teen years or possibly not until our early twenties. Like, I didn't think about the color of somebody's skin. I generally saw Mexicans, for example, in Oregon, where I grew up, to be simply more tanned than me. Perhaps, they were out in the sun longer. Generally, I just didn't think about it at all any more than I thought about how some people were short and some people tall. It's kind of like that. Some people have big noses. Some people have small noses. And some people have darker skin. Yes, and some people are mixed. Well, perhaps we are all a little mixed, but some people more so.

Very true sir Oatmeal, everyone should be able to grow up like that, not thinking about someone's features or skin color. Your parent's must have raised you very well!

That's right.

Hi janton, these young singers are certainly very eye catching in every way. Obviously they are hits given their following. So different from my kind of singers and performers, lol.

Mine too angiemitchell. lol. This is as opposite to my personality and culture that you can get but I still think she's interesting. hey, did you watch the video? You could incorporate Twerking into your yoga routines! lol.

Hahaha, good idea jonboy, OMG I could be a new yoga sensation, lol.

lol! yes! A totally new type of yoga move and if it got on video it could go viral and you'd be famous!

Beautiful girl

Howdy steemitboard, I like those numbers! Thanks so much for keeping track and also for the upvote!

Mornin’ Cowboy! Megan is a pretty girl with lots of different looks. She looks 6’2” in those boots. Watching someone twerking is not really my cup of tea but it seems to draw at lot of people and the more bizarre the better.

I'm so out of it that I didn't know twerking was a big thing but I guess it is! lol. Nothing about her music or genre is my cup of tea, I'm totally opposite. I'm more like a Frank Sinatra guy, that's how far I am from her stuff. lol. But I admire her for her smart marketing and accomplishments. Twerking doesn't really impress me. lol.
