You are watching: Why did justin bieber cry at vmas
One of the most shocking—and also meme-able—moments from this year's VMAs (and also there were a lot, many thanks to Miley and also Kanye) was once Justin Bieber damaged dvery own crying after his "What Do You Mean" performance. Not going to lie, at first we thought his tears were the outcome of some sort of harness malfeature (those things can't be comfortable), however the Biebs revealed the genuine reason behind his emotional minute on The Tonight Show through Jimmy Fallon last night.
While he did acknowledge the harness was uncomfortable, the tears came from a various place: "It was just so overwhelming for me, everything," Bieber told Fallon. "The performance, I missed some cues, so I was a small disappointed at that. And simply everyone, and also their assistance, I just wasn't expecting them to support me in the means they did.... The last time I was at an awards display, I was booed."

Bieber also revealed that the performance wasn't simply around debuting a brand-new song—it was his chance to present how much he's grown as an artist and a perchild.
"I've operated so difficult at this album. I've worked so difficult at coming to be the man I desire to become," Bieber said. "Stepping right into situations, you just can't aid but feel judged. I was feeling judged and also simply wanting to win so badly and simply wanting to execute what I love so badly that I simply put whatever on the line."
"I think that's what was so unique around the minute at the finish," he adds. "It was authentic, it was actual. I was really just wanting it so poor."
