The performances at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are shaping up to be an incredible mix of emerging talents and today’s top music stars. On September 11, the UBS Arena in New York will be the stage for a truly unique artistic experience. As we celebrate the 40th edition of these awards, which recognize the best music videos of the year, it’s clear this event won’t be one to miss.
The initial lineup, featuring Sabrina Carpenter, Rauw Alejandro, GloRilla, Camila Cabello, and Chappell Roan, already set the bar high. Now, even more big names have joined the party, including two talented Latin stars, Karol G and Anitta. Additionally, Shawn Mendes and others are adding to what’s sure to be an unforgettable night.

Among the nominees, we find big names like Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Beyoncé, and Olivia Rodrigo, to name a few. These stars might surprise us by showing up on the red carpet to collect an award if they win.
But we already know who the big star of the night will be: Katy Perry. She’ll be honored with the MTV Video Vanguard Award for her ‘groundbreaking creative vision,’ which has made her a ‘global phenomenon, performing on the world’s biggest stages.’ Katy’s dominance will be on full display at the VMAs with a performance you won’t want to miss, celebrating her career, her biggest moments, and her chart-topping hits.
However, that won’t be the only standout performance of the night. Over the summer, the list of artists set to perform has been gradually revealed, including names like Sabrina Carpenter, Rauw Alejandro, Camila Cabello, Halsey, Benson Boone, Lenny Kravitz, and Lisa—who might even debut her new collaboration ‘New Woman’ with Rosalía live for the first time—along with many others.
Karol G, or La Bichota, is having what could be the best summer of her career. The Colombian star has what many are calling the song of the summer (Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido) and just finished one of the most successful tours of the year, including four sold-out shows at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu in Spain.

Shawn Mendes is making a big comeback to the music scene, and he’s aiming to make the most of this opportunity. After taking a four-year break to focus on his mental health, the Canadian artist is now fully back and ready to go all out with the promotion of his fifth studio album.
Now, let’s take a look at the artists who will light up the stage at the 2024 VMAs:
It’s worth noting that the ceremony will have a strong charitable focus, in collaboration with the National Day of Service and Remembrance of 9/11 and Tuesday’s Children. And remember, the winners are chosen by the fans, so it’s up to you to decide who the big winners of the night will be!
