The VMAs Are Just As Fed Up With Politics In 2017 As You Are

Everything this year has felt incredibly political, and the 2017 VMAs are no exception. Of course were we really expecting anything less with Katy Perry hosting? She's been incredibly vocal since election season and with a platform as big as the VMAs stage, it's not surprising that she'd use it to discuss the current political climate.

But Katy isn't the only one who has something to say about Trump. With every presenter and performer comes a new moment to #resist. From Katy's intro to Paris Jackson calling us to action to show Nazi white supremacists that we will not tolerate their violence, it's clear that the celebrities who've come tonight aren't afraid to voice their opinions and denounce hate.

It's also important to note that the guest list itself is standing up against Trump and his recent political policy. As reported by The Wrap, GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis will be joined by transgender soldiers at the VMAs in response to Donald Trump's policy that will prevent new transgender recruits from enlisting. Inviting transgender soldiers to the show is a chance to show the public how much they have sacrificed to keep America safe.

We can also expect Resistance is definitely the theme of the 2017 VMAs. Here is every political moment from the show ICYMI:
