Yung Lean and a slew of dancers recreated the viral music video featuring Damien Jalet’s mesmerizing choreography.
Yung Lean and a horde of dancers lit up the stage at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards with the live premiere of Lean’s collaboration with GENER8ION, “Storm II,” marking their MTV VMAs debut. The highlight of the evening, the artists and dancers recreated the clip for the second of their two-part “Storm” in front of a live audience.
At the peak of their performance, Yung Lean grabbed a Moon Person before heading to the main stage and smashing the statue to the ground. Directly mirroring the music video, Yung Lean was flanked by a group of dancers in school uniforms who performed in captivating choreography created by Damien Jalet. After an energetic and meticulous performance by the dancers, Yung Lean left the lineup and spit a blue ice cream cone into the camera lens as the song faded out.
“Storm” was nominated for four awards tonight, including Video of the Year, Best Feature Film, Best Direction (Romain Gavras) and Best Choreography (Damien Jalet). “Storm” was among the stacked list of visuals from some of music’s biggest names for video of the year, including Ariana Grande (“I Hate That I Made You Love Me”), Bruno Mars (“I Just Could”), Madonna (“Confessions II – The Movie”), Sabrina Carpenter (“Tears”) and Taylor Swift (“The Fate of Ophelia”).
