After last year’s MTV Video Music Awards had to be staged all around the city — with limited or no crowds — due to the pandemic, the party is returning to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center this Sunday (Sept.12,8 p.m. EST) with vaccinated (and masked) attendees. Doja Cat, who is up for five Moon Persons, will be hosting the big night, while a star-studded parade of performers and presenters will be taking the VMAs stage. Although Nicki Minaj and Lorde have dropped out, there will still be no wattage shortage of artists rocking the house that Jay-Z built. Here are all of the performers to watch at this year’s VMAs. The singer-songwriter,30, smoothy returned to his hitmaking ways this summer with “Bad Habits” — from his upcoming album “=” — and is up for video of the year for the song’s clip. The former Fifth Harmony singer,24, is currently starring in “Cinderella” and has a new single, “Don’t Go Yet,” from her upcoming album “Familia.” The 23-year-old, older half of the Beyoncé-co-signed sister act Chloe x Halle will be performing her debut solo single “Have Mercy,” which she just dropped on Friday.
