As the duo ended their rendition of the hit collaboration [“Señorita,”](https://time.com/5611413/lil-nas-panini-camila-cabello-seniorita/) cameras cut to Turner to show her reaction to their moment. Her reaction, naturally, was priceless. Turner egged them on enthusiastically as they got close to a kiss — and threw up her hands in despair when the moment ended without culminating in anything more than some extended tension. Turner was not alone: [Taylor Swift](https://time.com/5660911/taylor-swift-interview-politics-trump-2020/) and [Bebe Rexha](https://time.com/5317477/bebe-rexha-sisterhood-pop-music/), also captured by the audience cameras, were equally surprised by the unfinished business on stage. Luckily, Turner had plenty of more satisfying moments to enjoy during the show; cameras caught her dancing along happily to performer [Normani](https://time.com/5394342/rihanna-diamond-ball-2018/) and enjoying a catch-up with Hailee Steinfeld. Plus, Joe took home [a prize](http://www.mtv.com/news/3136599/jonas-brothers-vma-best-pop/) for “Best Pop” for [“Sucker,”](https://time.com/5601989/jonas-brothers-comeback-album/) which just happens to feature Turner herself in the music video. > [](https://twitter.com/TrackingSM/status/1166165083082219525) > [](https://twitter.com/ezwrites/status/1166171541526208513) > [](https://twitter.com/sapphiremarvel/status/1166166908518973441) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5662525/sophie-turner-vmas-2019/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5662525/sophie-turner-vmas-2019/"},"headline":"Thank Goodness the VMAs Audience Camera Captured Sophie Turner's Reaction Because It's One for the Books","datePublished":"2019-08-27T16:54:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:04.865Z","description":"Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were involved","url":"https://time.com/5662525/sophie-turner-vmas-2019/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","awards","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta43713b86e2098f4/698a02018fd2ee0b83360020/sophie-turner-vmas.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta43713b86e2098f4/698a02018fd2ee0b83360020/sophie-turner-vmas.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2019 MTV Video Music Awards - Roaming Show","caption":"2019 MTV Video Music Awards - Roaming Show","creditText":"Jeff Kravitz—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5662525/sophie-turner-vmas-2019/","name":"Thank Goodness the VMAs Audience Camera Captured Sophie Turner's Reaction Because It's One for the Books"}}]}] ```
