Jack Antonoff Jokes About Earplug Use at 2024 VMAs After Online Backlash

Antonoff’s tweets poked fun at the idea that his earplug use was scandalous, apologizing sarcastically for letting fans down and stating that he would reflect on his actions. Despite the lighthearted controversy, Antonoff reassured fans that he and his band, Bleachers, would not be canceling any tour dates and would proceed as planned. His remarks came as a playful way to dismiss the outrage, focusing instead on his humorous take on the situation.

Meanwhile, Perry’s performance at the VMAs featured some of her biggest hits, including “Dark Horse” and “Roar,” along with a special live debut of her new single with Doechii, “I’m His, He’s Mine.” The event was also a big night for Taylor Swift, who was seated next to Antonoff, as she took home seven Moon People awards, further celebrating her incredible year.
