Lady Gaga Performing On The 2020 VMAs
• Lady Gaga has been added to the list of artists scheduled to perform at the 2020 VMAs on Sunday, August 30.
Gaga made the announcement in a typical Gaga-esque fashion, “in a captivatingly strange video posted to social media showing herself in a bathrobe and slides, sipping a drink… and also wearing a wonderfully large and extraterrestrial mask over her face.” The accompanying post read, “I’ve been at home dreaming of #Chromatica, and it’s finally time to take off for the first live performance. Tune in to the #VMAs on 8/30!”
This year’s appearance will mark Gaga’s first time back on the VMAs performance stage since 2013, and a decade since her biggest VMA night ever — 2010, the same year she debuted her famous meat dress — when she she walked away with seven trophies, including Video of the Year.
Gaga joins previously announced performers BTS, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Roddy Ricch, Maluma, and CNCO. Keke Palmer will host the show. Along with her “Rain On Me” collaborator Ariana Grande, Gaga leads the VMA nominations field with nine, including seven for “Rain on Me.” Billie Eilish and The Weeknd have each garnered six nods.
The 2020 VMAs will air live at 8pm ET/PT on Sunday, August 30 across MTV’s linear and digital platforms, as well as with several outdoor performances around New York City. See the full list of nominees, and vote for your faves across 15 gender-neutral categories right now, at vma.mtv.com.
