Extra, extra read all about it! Another celebrity drinks alcohol and has fun. There's your story TMZ eat your heart out. Taylor Swift went out to celebrate her 10 VMA nominations, and had a blast when her new song came on, dancing and lip-syncing and looking like a complete drunk mess, but its Tay Swift, so its just cute instead of obnoxious. And with that many award nominations, if she wasn't partying that hard, we'd suspect something is up.
But this has also launched a new trending meme of her various freeze frame moves caught on camera. So sit back, relax and enjoy some of the best creations of the night to remember, and stay tuned for the next Swifty moment that is bound to come after the VMAs.
A number of websites have done articles all about the celebration and memes that have already done about it, and you can find them here:

Italian caravan millionair Gianluca Vacchi uploaded a clip showing him having a dance off with a sexy companion.
The hilarious clip shows him wearing nothing but a Tarzan-style loincloth as he performs his bizarre dance routine.
The Internet went crazy; the clip has already been watched 2.5 million times.
My advise? Please DO try this at home!
The video spotlights people and recognizable places from around Orlando, and urges folks from Orlando to dance/donate to OneOrlandoFund.

Crikey!
Bindi Irwin, daughter of late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, has won season 21 of Dancing With The Stars.
The 17-year-old Australian had consistently wowed judges this season with her top-notch performances and tearful tributes to her father.
Bindi beat finalist Nick Carter to take the trophy.
"Honestly, Bindi deserved it," the former Backstreet Boy insisted after the ceremony. "Bindi deserved it! She kicked butt."
And just look at this lift! It's clear that the best contestant won.

Bindi Irwin, daughter of late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, is still going strong on this season of Dancing With The Stars.
But what should be a time of intense focus on the competition is not that at all because of one boneheaded decision by a judge.
Since Bindi is 17 years old, she needs her parents to sign a contract giving her permission to participate on the show. Her mother has done so, but the judge is now demanding proof that her father is indeed deceased.
Perhaps the judge has been living under a rock for the past decade? It is pretty much common knowledge that Steve Irwin died in 2006 after being stung by a sting ray.
Bindi stands to loose a lot of money if the judge continues down this path.
Her earnings currently stand at $230,000 from the show, but are only expected to increase with each round she survives.
And with stellar performances like below, Bindi is sure to stick around for a while.

There are some people who just shouldn't do the 'Nae Nae.' For example: Your mom, Bugs Bunny and these two.
Gary Busey (71) and Paula Deen (68), two bastions of American pop culture, are both competing on Dancing With The Stars this season. And some producer thought it would be a good idea for them to do the 'Nae Nae.'
Watch her whisk, now watch her Nae Nae! #dwts https://t.co/Hkq3l1SB1Q

— Official DWTS (@DancingABC) September 5, 2015Never mind that Gary Busey looks like a literal insane person (that's kinda his thing), but look at Paula. Paula Deen dancing to a popular hip-hop song—this could not end well.
Watch her whip, whip. Get it...like a chef.

Riots broke out in Baltimore on Monday following the funeral of Freddie Gray, with people looting shops, fighting each other and setting fires across the city in what CNN is describing as a “war zone.”
But not everyone is causing trouble.
Amid all the chaos, a Michael Jackson impersonator named Dimitri Reeves has been spotted dancing in the streets as part of a peaceful protest.
There are a number of different videos being passed around on social media of the guy blasting music and showing off his moves on top of a truck.
NBC reporter Shomari Stone posted the “Beat It” clip above on Twitter, and you can check out more of him below.
He’s also been retweeting shout outs from people thanking him for using his music to encourage peace and bring some joy to an otherwise dismal day.

Waiting a long time for a plane to take off can suck, but it’s a lot more bearable if you have a flight attendant that can move like this woman.
According to the uploader, she is a breakdancer-turned-flight attendant, and she recently gave these passengers a bit of a show while waiting for everyone to board.
Watch her dance to Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” and win over everyone on the plane.

He woke up like this.
You may remember Jimmy Pope, aka the guy who was “caught” on camera dancing in his underwear with a Swiffer the day after a Halloween party.
Well he’s back and strutting his stuff in his underwear yet again.
This time he’s on a balcony overlooking a huge crowd and a DJ who’s blasting dance music.
Pope calls it his “morning ritual” and one of his “most embarrassing” videos to date.

Get ready for the “Harlan Shake,” the latest dance craze that’s about to sweep the nation in 2015.
At his uncle’s wedding, this little boy decided to literally get down and show off some of his moves while simultaneously cleaning the floor.
The uploader confirms that there is nothing wrong with him, he is just awesome.

This couldn't have happened at a worse time.
YouTube prankster Alexander BOK decided to film a little video in NYC on Christmas Eve in New York as part of Ellen's #DanceDares challenge.
The idea is to record yourself dancing behind strangers without them knowing and possibly have your clip appear on the show.
So he tried this out in Grand Central Station where, for the most part, people were amused and there weren't any no major incidents.
But when he decided to start dancing behind some cops outside, things got a bit more serious.
"What's wrong with you bro?" one of the cops asks in the video, as four officers approach the prankster.
Alexander BOK explains the purpose video to them, and they proceed to call him an "fucking a**hole" and eventually pushing him away, knocking him to down on the ground.
The NYPD is investigating the incident, according to TMZ.

What IS this magical place where high-waisted cargo pant wearing chaps bump and grind to Salt-N-Pepa all night with their female companions?
The Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack in West Virginia, that's where.
The clip, originally uploaded to Facebook where it's racked up over a million views so far, has only one caption that just leaves us wanting more.
This is the way it's done in WV and these wasn't his best moves
Fortunately for us, a few days later, there was more.
