After being told by one of her followers that her comments her "not nice", Kelly responded: "@sheybug74 haha that WAS me being nice!"

It is currently unknown who she was referring to in her tweets, with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry all performing.

Cyrus has faced criticism for her raunchy performance at the ceremony, which saw her twerking up against Robin Thicke in a nude PVC bikini.

Miley has since defended her stint on stage on Twitter, writing: "Smilers! My VMA performance had 306.000 tweets per minute. That's more than the blackout or Superbowl! ‪#fact‬."
