Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift lead VMAs 2019 nods: Full list of winners
Poor John Travolta just had another ‘Adele Dazeem’ moment when presenting one of the MTV VMAs biggest awards to Taylor Swift.
He provided one of the most memorable moments in award show history when he introduced performer Idina Menzel as ‘Adele Dazeem’ at the 2014 Oscars — now John Travolta’s suffered another award show gaffe.
The veteran actor appeared confused when presenting an award to Taylor Swift at today’s MTV VMAs, instead attempting to hand the award to a lookalike drag queen.

The queen, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Jade Jolie, was one of many LGBTQ stars of Swift’s You Need To Calm Down video who took to the stage with the star to accept her Video of the Year win.
Jolie smiled and greeted Travolta as he attempted to hand the award to her instead of the real Swift:

Hilariously, Travolta had only seconds earlier referenced his infamous ‘Adele Dazeem’ gaffe, insisting co-presenter Queen Latifah announce the award winner due to his poor track record.
Swift has been a big winner at this year’s MTV VMAs, airing live on Foxtel channel MTV.
