The 2018 MTV Video Music Awards are quickly approaching on Monday, Aug. 20! And with tons of your faves slated to appear and perform, like Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes, we figured what better way to set the vibe for the upcoming show than by taking a trip down memory lane? The first time an artist attends the VMAs is always memorable, and seeing them go from lil excited newbies to VMA vets is a treat for longtime fans. We rounded up some of the best red carpet pics from celebs’ first ever VMAs and well, be prepared to be hit with all the feels. 2008 was a pretty epic show, if we say so ourselves. Check out the gallery below to relive stars’ first VMA apperances!

1 of 9

Miley Cyrus, 2008

Little Miley looks so different as she walked the VMA red carpet for the first time. Little did she know that in 2015, she would end up hosting the show.

2 of 9

Justin Bieber, 2009

That hair, those sneakers. The Biebs was in a different era.

3 of 9

Taylor Swift, 2008

This is the old T. Swift, complete with princess dresses, corkscrew curls, and a statement necklace. She’s come a long way in the last decade, that’s for sure.

4 of 9

One Direction, 2012

We mostly likely won’t ever get to see 5/5 together at an awards show again, so let’s just embrace this throwback moment.

5 of 9

Selena Gomez, 2010

That silver dress though. Sel has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to her style.

6 of 9

Ariana Grande, 2013

She still loves a solid ponytail, but she’s more of a dangerous woman who’s oh so in love nowadays.

7 of 9

Jonas Brothers, 2008

Joe’s pants and Nick’s curls two things we mostly likely will never see again.

8 of 9

Shawn Mendes, 2015

This was only three years ago, but Shawn has grown up so much since then, hasn’t he?

9 of 9

Katy Perry, 2008

Can we just say the 2008 VMAs were a a big deal, it being so many celebs’ first time attending the show? While Katy still knows how to rock a solid costume, not too sure she’d wear this exact look today. Girl slayed it 10 years ago, though.
