Fans were confused after Italian rock band Maneskin were seemingly censored during their 2022 MTV VMAs performance.

The rock group talks to ET about being the first Italian group to be recognized at the MTV Video Music Awards.

"We couldn’t wait to get to play here in the U.S. So now we're just looking forward to perform." "When we when we got to know we were nominated, we're so happy and couldn’t believe it! They will also take the stage to perform "Supermodel." "We didn’t expect to [win]. "It's actually amazing," he continued.

Måneskin not only bagged the award for "Best Alternative", but they also dominate the headlines today, thanks to their scantily-clad performance.

It did not take long before the rather joyful reason for the “unforeseen scheduling conflicts” became known: The winners of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 were nominated in two categories for the MTV Video Music Awards 2022 (“Best New Artist” and “Best Alternative”) and, in addition, scheduled to perform their single “ [Supermodel](https://chaoszine.net/maneskin-release-new-single-supermodel/)” live at the award show which took place last night in New Jersey. This part was not visible for people who followed the award show on screen. [reported](https://chaoszine.net/maneskin-cancel-uk-festival-gigs-due-to-unforeseen-scheduling-conflicts/) that Måneskin cancelled their performances at the festivals Reading and Leeds in the UK, due to “unforeseen scheduling conflicts”.

[music](https://parade.com/1239349/michelleparkerton/music-quotes/) buffs, they absolutely were—the 2022 VMAs was the first time many heard of Måneskin. This isn't because they're incapable of performing, but rather because TV networks often won't spend the money or extend the manpower necessary for things like sound checks, rehearsals, or techs—and don't want to deal with the headache or backlash if anything goes wrong (think a messed up amp, broken guitar string, etc.) on live TV. Måneskin won first place in Eurovision with a total of 524 points. Måneskin shot to global fame thanks to winning the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, as well as their second-place finish in Italian X Factor in 2017—just two years after they formed. We were always fighting with the other street artists about having the best spot, and we never won." "They just go to the famous ones that they already know, so it was really hard and that's why we started playing as buskers on the streets. Måneskin's bassist Victoria De Angelis is half Danish, and her heritage and language inspired the band's lovely lunar moniker.

People tuning into the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards were confused when the camera abruptly cut to a shot of the crowd during Måneskin's performance.

Of course, award shows are no stranger to the occasional nip-slip. However, some of the band's fans felt that doing so was a disservice to their performance. With all the movement, the other shoulder of De Angelis' dress slipped down, causing her breast to be exposed.

Bassist Victoria De Angelis' top fell off during Måneskin's 2022 VMAs performance of "Supermodel," leading MTV to awkwardly censor the set.

She began the set with her left shoulder and chest exposed except for a pasty, and according to [Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2022/08/28/maneskin-vmas-performance-censored-after-wardrobe-malfunction/), the wardrobe malfunction occurred as she joined a group of dancers at the front of the stage, causing the fabric that had been covering her right shoulder to fall off and pool around the elbow. Afterwards, the camera stayed tight on vocalist Damiano David and his (more child-friendly?) ass-less chaps.

Viewers were more than a little peeved, and expressed their frustration as they always do, via Twitter and other social platforms.

And fans were quick to point it out. But, if you were cued in, then you'll know that bassist Victoria De Angelis became a living, breathing example of the phrase, “the show must go on.” Later, it became clear that Victoria’s top appeared to have fallen off mid-song, leaving
