“We must show these Nazi white supremacis­t jerks in Charlottes­ville, and all over the country, that as a nation with liberty as our slogan, we have zero tolerance for their violence and their hatred and their discrimina­tion. We must resist,” Michael Jackson’s eldest daughter said before presenting an award.

Lamar’s performanc­e kicked off the three-hour show — hosted by Katy Perry — followed by the premiere of Swift’s video for “Look What You Made Me Do,” which featured the singer dressed like a zombie in one scene and surrounded by slithering snakes in another.

Spotify said Swift’s song set a new global first-day streaming record. The music delivery site said Saturday it had logged more than 8 million same-day streams for her new single.

The 27-year-old singer dropped the song late Thursday to streaming platforms and itunes.

Youtube said Saturday the song’s lyric video broke a record for that site, with more than 19 million same-day views.
