ADAM Levine wasn’t at todays MTV Video Music Awards and if you’ve read his Twitter feed recently you’d understand why.

“They really delivered so far this year,” he continued before ending with the hashtag “HOLYF**K”.

Michaels, who was nominated for Best New Artist after she stepped away from writing hit songs for artists like Justin Bieber to have a shot at her own music career, saw her performance get cut off halfway through for a commercial break.

Almost immediately after Michaels’ performance, Kiwi singer Lorde took to the stage to perform her new single Homemade Dynamite.

That didn’t sit well with Levine, who slammed his friend’s performance snub with a pointed tweet.
