As if performing on stage wasn’t enough, pop star Ariana Grande added another element to her performance: spinning.

The singer took to the stage with Nicki Minaj to perform Side By Side at the MTV Video Music Awards – and she kicked things off on a spinning bike.

After doing an impressive stint on the spinning bike, Ariana then hopped on to the pommel horse on stage.

The song is from Ariana’s new album, Dangerous Woman.

Fans were super impressed with her performance:

Her half-brother, Frankie, who was recently a contestant in Celebrity Big Brother, is probably her biggest fan.

And some people were more excited about seeing him….

Ariana also had fans in a spin after she seemed to confirm she’s dating rapper Mac Miller.

According to American celebrity website People, while being interviewed before the show started, she told American TV presenter Charlamagne Tha God she would “send (Miller) your regards”.

They said when asked where Mac was she replied: “Being supportive. It’s OK to be alone even when you have a boo.”

With Beyonce and Rihanna also performing, the MTV VMA stage won’t be short of sizzing acts to keep everyone entertained.
