On September 11, the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards celebrate their 40th anniversary at the UBS Arena in New York. The show promises to be a spectacular event with a stellar lineup of presenters and performances that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

This year’s VMAs feature an impressive list of nominees. Taylor Swift leads with 12 nominations, followed closely by Post Malone with 11. Eminem, who will open the show, has eight nominations, including Video of the Year and Song of the Summer for his hit ‘Houdini.’ Other standout nominees include Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, Sabrina Carpenter, and SZA, each with seven nominations. The competition is fierce, and fans are eager to see who will take home the coveted awards.

The performance lineup for tonight is equally impressive. Katy Perry, who will receive the Video Vanguard Award, will perform a medley of her greatest hits. Other artists taking the stage include Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, Karol G, Anitta, and Rauw Alejandro. These artists are not only nominated in multiple categories but also promise unforgettable performances that will electrify the audience.

Some mysteries still surround the event, especially regarding surprise appearances (we’re still unsure if Rosalía will perform alongside Lisa to sing ‘New Woman’). However, one thing we do know is which Latin icons will shine among the lineup of presenters.

The Latin Stars Presenting at the 2024 VMAs

Among the presenters is a Latin star who has captured hearts worldwide: DANNA, formerly known as Danna Paola. She is one of the most beloved and talented artists in the Latin scene. The Mexican star, who began her career as a child actress in her country, has evolved into an international superstar.

Known for her role in the hit Netflix series Elite and her impressive music career, DANNA has proven to be a versatile and charismatic artist. Her transition from Danna Paola to DANNA marks a new chapter in her career, reflecting her growth and evolution as an artist.

DANNA has not only conquered the acting world but also left an indelible mark on music. With hits like ‘Idiota,’ ‘Nada,’ and ‘Mala Fama,’ she has shown her ability to create music that resonates with audiences everywhere. Her unique style and powerful voice have made her an influential figure in contemporary Latin music.

DANNA’s participation as a presenter at the 2024 VMAs is a testament to her growing influence in the entertainment industry. Her presence on the VMA stage not only celebrates her personal success but also highlights the increasing representation and recognition of Latin artists at major international events. For the U.S. Latin audience, seeing one of their favorite stars at such a prestigious event is a source of pride and celebration.

Additionally, Thalía, one of the most iconic and influential figures in Latin pop music and entertainment, will also be joining as one of the presenters at the ceremony. Born in Mexico City, she began her career at a young age and quickly rose to fame as a member of the pop group Timbiriche. However, it was her solo career that cemented her status as the «Queen of Latin Pop.» Over the years, she has released numerous hit albums and singles, including ‘Amor a la Mexicana,’ ‘Arrasando,’ and ‘No Me Acuerdo,’ which have dominated charts across Latin America and beyond.

Thalía is not only a successful singer but also a renowned actress, having starred in some of the most beloved telenovelas of the 1990s, such as «María la del Barrio» and «Marimar.» These shows achieved international success, making the Mexican diva a household name across the globe.

In addition to her music and acting career, Thalía is also a businesswoman, author, and fashion icon. Her long-standing presence in the entertainment industry, combined with her ability to reinvent herself, has made her an enduring figure. Her participation in the 2024 MTV VMAs as a presenter is a reflection of her lasting impact on both Latin and international pop culture.
