Hey friends! 🎉 Can we take a moment to appreciate how close we are to the MTV Video Music Awards? I’m buzzing with excitement thinking about all the jaw-dropping performances and those nostalgic moments that make the VMAs such a staple in pop culture! This year’s ceremony is happening on September 7, and here’s the twist: it’s the first time the show will air on both MTV and CBS! So, what can we expect from this epic night? Let’s dive in!
Epic Performances Await
Mark your calendars, because the 2025 VMAs are bringing some major talent to the stage! 🌟 New York’s UBS Arena will be lit with breakout stars and familiar faces ready to blow us away. I mean, artists like Alex Warren, Sabrina Carpenter, and the legendary Ricky Martin are set to perform. Who are you most excited to watch?
And here’s a highlight: Lola Young is making her VMAs debut on the Extended Play stage with her hit song “Messy.” Talk about making a statement! Plus, she’s up for her first Moon Person award in both the Best New Artist and Best Alternative categories. 💫
But wait, there’s more! Megan Moroney isn’t just nominated for her powerful track “Am I Okay?”—she’ll also be performing her new single “6 Months Later.” Can we say double whammy? 💖
And let’s talk about Bailey Zimmerman joining forces with The Kid LAROI to perform “Lost.” This is such an exciting moment for Bailey, especially since he’s also nominated for his very first Moon Person. Seriously, who else is feeling all the good vibes from this lineup? 🎶
Star-Studded Honors and Awards
Now, let’s chat about the awards because this year is stacked with some serious accolades! 🌟 The one and only Mariah Carey is set to receive the Video Vanguard Award, and she’ll be gracing the stage to perform her biggest hits. Can you believe it’s been 20 years since she last performed at the VMAs? This is a full-circle moment, and I’m here for it! 🙌
Ricky Martin is also making history as the first artist to be honored with the VMAs’ Latin Icon Award. It’s been 26 years since his first performance, and now he’s back! This is giving me all the nostalgia vibes. 🕺
And wait for it—Busta Rhymes will be receiving the first-ever MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award! His cultural impact in hip-hop is undeniable, and I can’t wait to see what he brings to the stage this year.
Returning Favorites and New Faces
Lady Gaga is back! 🎤 After taking a break, she’s ready to bring the drama with her new track “The Dead Dance.” Doja Cat is also returning to perform her new single “Jealous Type.” It feels like a reunion of our favorite artists! Who else is ready to vibe with these queens? 👑
And let’s not forget about Post Malone, who hasn’t graced the stage since his epic set in 2021. He’s back, and I just know he’s going to bring the heat! 🔥
We’re also seeing a fresh wave of talent with artists like sombr, who’s hitting the awards show for the first time. His hits are all over the charts, and I’m curious to see how he’ll perform live. 🎉
