Has anyone had a better year than Saucy Santana? Aside from having one of the hottest songs on TikTok and giving us a booty-shaking summer anthem, Santana opened the 2022 MTV VMAs pre-show with an incredible performance.
Clad in a lacey catsuit with a leather corset and gold embellishments, Santana performed his song "Booty" to cheering fans.
Santana's performance was explicitly Black and queer, including kink-inspired costumes and a voguing performance from the rapper's backup dancers.
Viewers couldn't get enough. Even notorious media site The Shade Room weighed in, saying, "Saucy Santana was giving to the gworls."

This performance is just another stop on the upward rollercoaster that has been Santana's 2022. In June, he covered Teen Vogue after collaborating with original Material Girl Madonna on a remix of his TikTok-approved song.
