The MTV Video Music Awards returned to New York City after two years for the 2024 show. As the summer of pop girls comes to close, this year’s biggest stars are ready to make a splash on the VMAs red carpet.
The night has long been known for iconic fashion moments. From Lady Gaga’s 2010 meat dress to Lil Kim’s 1999 purple pasties, the VMAs carpet has created cultural moments for decades. First-time nominee Chappell Roan, known for her drag queen looks, is sure to stun on this year’s carpet ahead of her anticipated performance.
Taylor Swift leads in nominations for the second year in a row, this time with 10 total. The pop sensation is up against Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish for Video of the Year, as she aims to be the only artist to win three times back-to-back and five times overall for the night’s highest honor.
Megan Thee Stallion will host Wednesday night’s awards show. The rapper is also nominated for seven awards in total and will perform a number from her album “MEGAN.” Eminem will open the 2024 VMAs with the first TV performance from his 12th studio LP, “The Death of Slim Shady.” Other notable performers include Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes.
Katy Perry will be honored as this year’s Video Vanguard and will perform a career-spanning medley of her greatest hits. The pop star is set to release her seventh studio album “143” on Sept. 20.
