We can always count on the BET Awards to give us an epic ceremony, and it definitely didn’t disappoint this year. In addition to amazing performances by our favorite artists, this year’s show gave us several viral moments that immediately broke the internet.

Cardi B’s Pregnancy Reveal

Cardi B was the talk of the night at this year’s BET Awards—and not only because shared two awards for her smash hit “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion. She also announced her pregnancy while performing alongside Migos, revealing her baby bump in a sparkly jumpsuit.

Zendaya’s Beyoncé Tribute

If we had to pick a single dress that everyone was talking about after BET Awards, it would be Zendaya’s flowy Versace frock. If you think it looks familiar, you’re not wrong—it’s actually a homage to a similar dress that Beyoncé wore during her first solo performance at BET Awards in 2003 when she performed “Crazy in Love”.

Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X has a habit of breaking the internet with each new live performance of his chart-topping hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”. He did it again with a “royal rendition” of this song at BET Awards, which ended with a kiss with one of his backup dancers.
