AceShowbiz - Grammy-winning megastar Megan Thee Stallion is set to host the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), marking her first time anchoring an awards show. Known for her dynamic presence and musical prowess, Megan's journey from pre-show performer to main event host underscores her meteoric rise in the entertainment industry. She follows only Nicki Minaj in making this impressive ascent.
The VMAs, airing live on Wednesday, September 11, at 8 P.M. EST from New York's UBS Arena, promise a night filled with excitement and high-energy performances. Megan, who has won two VMAs in the past, is up for five nominations this year, including Best Collaboration with her tourmate GloRilla and Best Hip Hop. Her earlier wins include best power anthem in 2019 for "Hot Girl Summer" and best hip-hop in 2020 for "Savage."
No stranger to hosting duties, Megan has previously charmed audiences as the host of "Saturday Night Live" and co-host on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". This new role at the VMAs is set to further cement her versatility and star power.
This year alone, she has smashed records with her new album, "MEGAN," which features collaborations with big names like Victoria Monet, and her third Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, "HISS."
The 2024 VMAs will feature performances from a lineup of stars including Katy Perry, who will receive the prestigious Video Vanguard Award, and other artists such as Benson Boone, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, LISA, Rauw Alejandro, and Sabrina Carpenter. As fans eagerly await the show, they can vote for their favorites in 15 gender-neutral categories through August 30, with voting for Best New Artist remaining open until the show.
In observance of the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, MTV will continue its support for the nonprofit 9/11 Day and Tuesday's Children. Megan's inclusion in this significant event underscores not only her influence in music but also her wider impact on the cultural landscape.
Executive producers Bruce Gillmer and Den of Thieves co-founder Jesse Ignjatovic promise that the 2024 VMAs will be an event to remember, with Megan Thee Stallion at the helm. Mark your calendars for a night of stunning performances, major wins, and historic moments as Megan showcases her talent and versatility in yet another groundbreaking role.
