BLACKPINK debuted the stage of "Pink Venom" in the United States, and "Pop Empress" Taylor Swift, which shines in the three crowns of "VMAS", also enjoyed the stage.

BLACKPINK attended the "2022MTV VMAs" held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, USA on August 28th and presented a splendid performance stage.

On this day, BLACKPINK made their US debut for "Pink Venom" at "VMAs", and they won the "Best Metaverse Performance Award". In addition, BLACKPINK's member Lisa won the "Best K-Pop" award for her solo song "LALISA".

"Pink Venom" is a pre-release song of the 2nd regular album "Born Pink", which will be released on September 16, and is a hip-hop genre song that shows BLACKPINK's unique strong charisma.

Taylor Swift, who was selected for three "VMAs" awards, danced while watching BLACKPINK's members, sang along and cheered, drawing the attention of the viewers.

There is a reference to Taylor Swift in the lyrics of "Pink Venom", which she took from the 2017 song "Look What You Made Me Do" and included the lyrics "Look what you made us do".

Knowing this, Taylor enjoyed BLACKPINK's stage while singing along all the English lyrics, shouting the verse even louder.

Lato, the co-host of the awards ceremony, introduced BLACKPINK's stage, leading the K-pop sensation. “Not only did this group dominate K-pop, they dominated the world,” he said. “They are the first K-pop group to perform at the VMAs”, he said. “This is the group’s first American awards ceremony”.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK, who successfully finished the awards ceremony, said, “We will work hard to show a good side in the future".
