More superstars have been added to the already impressive list of performers for the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards—and the latest announcement is out of this world.
Lady Gaga is set to perform! This will mark the Chromatica star’s first return to the VMAs stage since 2013. In addition to performing at the show, the pop star is up for nine awards.
She announced the news on Thursday, Aug. 13 with a hilarious nod to the alien-inspired aesthetic of her latest album. “I’ve been at home dreaming of #Chromatica, and it’s finally time to take off for the first live performance,” she captioned a video of herself drinking wine in a pink bathrobe and slippers.
On Tuesday, Aug. 11, the network announced that The Weeknd, Maluma, Roddy Ricch and CNCO are also set to perform during the upcoming ceremony. This will mark The Weeknd’s second appearance at the award show, as he previously performed at the 2015 VMAs. In addition to performing, the “Blinding Lights” star is also up for six awards, set to air live on Aug. 30. Roddy Ricch also scored three nominations, while Maluma landed recognition with his Best Latin Video nomination. CNCO also received two nods.
It was previously announced that BTS, Doja Cat and J Balvin will all be performing during the award show, while Keke Palmer will take on hosting duties. “We’re thrilled to have the multi-talented Keke Palmer as this year’s ‘VMAs’ host,” Bruce Gillmer, President of Music, Music Talent, Programming & Events for ViacomCBS Media Networks, said. “Keke is an energetic force and a quadruple threat with unmatched comedic wit who will make this year’s show truly unforgettable.”
