Megan has had a monumental year following the release of her indie album “Megan” in June, featuring tracks like “Hiss,” “BOA,” and “Mamushi” with Yuki Chiba. Her Hot Girl Summer tour with GloRilla was also a major success.
The star-studded lineup for this year’s VMAs includes Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, Rauw Alejandro, Camila Cabello, Benson Boone, GloRilla, and Lisa from Blackpink. Shawn Mendes, Karol G, LL Cool J, and Anitta are among the scheduled performers. Katy Perry will be honored with the 2024 Vanguard award and deliver a career-spanning medley.
Taylor Swift leads the nominations with 10 nods, mostly for her collaboration with Post Malone on “Fortnight” from the Tortured Poets Department. She is also in the running for Artist of the Year, with “Fortnight” receiving additional nominations for Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, and various technical categories.
The 2024 VMAs were rescheduled from Sept. 10 to avoid a clash with a presidential debate, ensuring that music fans can enjoy the event without missing out on the political discourse.
