Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and more have been announced to perform at the Video Music Awards on September 11.
The MTV VMAs had been scheduled for Sept. 10; now that that has been confirmed as the date for the first debate of election cycle between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, MTV has moved its signature awards show back by one night, to Sept. 11.
GloRilla, Camila Cabello and Rauw Alejandro have also been announced as performers with more announcements to come.
As big as these two are right now, neither Carpenter nor Roan have appeared on the VMAs before. The latter artist, in fact, has not sung on any awards show before now. Carpenter did perform last year on the VMAs’ pre-telecast segment.
Alejandro and GloRilla are also first-time VMAs performers as well as nominees. GloRilla was cited by MTV as being “longest-charting female rap hitmaker of 2024.” Alejandro will premiere a track from his upcoming fifth album on the show. Cabello, the most veteran of these first five performers to be announced, will be singing on the telecast for the third time; she has previously won four VMAs.
