When reggaeton star Maluma hits the stage at the VMAs Sunday, it won’t be the way he planned. “I wanted to get to the performance riding a bull, and they told me that I couldn’t do it because of the coronavirus,” he told The Post. “I wanted to bring, like,20 dancers, and we couldn’t. I wanted to bring my whole tech team, but I couldn’t. It’s been kind of difficult because I had so many ideas to do in the show. We cannot become too creative, but I understand that these times are difficult.” As the first major live awards show being staged in the COVID-19 era, MTV’s 2020 edition of the Video Music Awards will set the standard for the future. And details of the production, which will feature performances by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus and more, have been very hush-hush. Keke Palmer, star of “Hustlers,” will be hosting, and she’s making history as the first woman of color to take the reins of the awards show. While it is known that the VMAs will happen at various outdoor locations (with no or limited audience) around the city — along with remote performances from Los Angeles and, for K-pop sensations BTS,South Korea — exactly where those locations are is pretty much classified info.
