Watch Courtney Love demolish Madonna’s 1995 MTV VMA interview

In 1995 Madonna was probably feeling pretty good about stuff.

She had just released Human Nature, one of her most well received albums yet, and she was filming the title role of Evita, which I bet she bloody loved. So when she sat down for an interview at the 1995 MTV VMAs with MTV’s Kurt Loder, she probably thought she was in for an easy ride.

Then Courtney Love turned up and steamrolled everything. And it was all heroically captured on camera for our viewing pleasure.

Oh man, this video has so, so, so many great bits. Click on the time signatures to jump to the most magically mental MTV moments.

Special shoutout to whatever the fuck Courtney is wearing throughout this unparalleled event.

0.17: Madonna’s face when Courtney’s compact is thrown at her. Look up ‘oh shit, here we go’ in the dictionary and this face will be staring back at you.

0.24: Madonna begging “No don’t, please” as she sees Courtney wobbling around below, threatening to ascend the staircase.

0.33: Madonna’s voice dripping with disdain as she snarls, “Courtney Love is in dire need of attention right now”

1.04: Kurt Loder’s deeply uncomfortable body language as soon as Courtney rocks up. All he wants is to roll into a ball and go home to his wife.

2.15: The word ‘drugs’ lighting up behind Love as she tells a batshit story about stand-up comedian Dennis Miller.

2.40: Courtney Love saying she’s going to give up being a rockstar to be an astrophysicist.

3.14: Madonna thinking she’s hard by snarkily having a go at Courtney’s drug use, and the word drugs being bleeped out. It’s even funnier if you imagine her saying ‘dicks’.

3.40: Courtney telling Kurt that his shoes suck and that they’re un-PC.

4.41: The absolute WTF look on Loder’s face once Madonna is ushered away.

4.58: Courtney screaming “BYE MADONNA, LOOK – DID I BUM YA OUT, ARE YA PISSED AT ME? SWEAR TO GOD?” over the bannister.

5.56: MTV News reporter Tabitha Soren hugging Courtney while simultaneously trying to stay as far away from her as possible.

6.52: Courtney claiming that her mom opened the first Birkenstock store in the US…

7.03: …Courtney also claiming that it’s possible Ted Nugent took her virginity…

7.27: …and then full on falling off her seat.

Absolutely 10/10 90s MTV madness behaviour, A+++, will watch every day till I die.
