Madonna's Tribute To Aretha Franklin Turns Into Memoir Of Her Own Life — Angers Twitter!

Madonna launched into a long-winded anecdote about the start of her career before presenting the Video of the Year award — Camila Cabello won, in case you're wondering.

"Aretha Louise Franklin changed the course of my life. I left Detroit when I was 18, $35 in my pocket," she said.

"My dream was to make it as a professional dancer, after years of struggling and being broke, I decided to go to auditions for musical theatre. I heard the pay was better."
