Los Angeles / New York – Lady Gaga will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in New York in late August. She had dreamed of her album “Chromatica” at home and now it was finally time for the first live performance, the singer announced on Thursday on Twitter with reference to the show on August 30th.
She also posted a short video of herself in a pink bathrobe with a huge headdress mask. She had released her sixth album “Chromatica” at the end of May in the middle of the corona pandemic. According to “People.com”, Lady Gaga was last on stage in 2013 at the Video Music Awards.
Several outdoor appearances planned
Artists and groups such as The Weeknd, Maluma, BTS and Doja Cat will also perform at the gala, the broadcaster MTV recently announced. Because of the corona pandemic, the award ceremony will take place outdoors instead of in a hall. Several outdoor performances are planned in different parts of New York either with no live audience or with limited audience. MTV wants to broadcast the show hosted by actress Keke Palmer live.
Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande enter the race as top favorites with nine nominations each. Billie Eilish and The Weeknd each have six chances to win. All four top contenders are represented in the top category “Video of the Year”. In addition, Eminem, Future and Taylor Swift compete there. The MTV prizes have been awarded since 1984. Fans can vote for their favorites online.
