Lady Gaga is extending her dominance of this year’s MTV Video Music Awards and has been added as a performer, show organizers announced Saturday.
The Grammy-award-winning musician leads this year’s VMA nominations with 12 nods, including artist of the year and best album for “Mayhem,” which was released earlier this year.
Gaga has a long-standing history with the VMAs, with 57 total nominations throughout her career. Mother Monster, as she’s known, last took the stage in 2020, singing various hits from her album, “Chromatica,” including a performance of “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande.
She joins a slate of other seasoned VMAs performers confirmed for this year’s roster, including Doja Cat, who will give the first-ever televised performance of her new single “Jealous Type.” Jelly Roll will also perform and is competing for the first time in four categories. Post Malone, a six-time VMA winner, is also set to take the stage.
Pop singers Conan Gray and Tate McRae will each make their performance debut on the VMAs stage next month.
Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s MTV VMAs.
