Today (Aug. 31), MTV revealed the performers set to grace the stage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Set to air live from Newark’s Prudential Center on Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. ET, we will see performances by Demi Lovato, Karol G, Måneskin, Stray Kids, Doja Cat, Lil Wayne, Anitta, Kelsea Ballerini, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
With a whopping five nominations under her belt this year, the VMAs serve as an appetizer for Doja Cat’s North American tour, which features the talents of Ice Spice and Doechii. Doja Cat’s album’s lead single, “Paint the Town Red,” has remarkably climbed to the No. 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in less than a month, solidifying her status as a chart-topping sensation.
Lil Wayne, marking over a decade since his last VMAs performance, is poised to take the stage once again, this time to showcase his latest single, “Kat Food.” The New Orleans rapper has also received a well-deserved nomination for Best Hip Hop, due to his recent collaboration, “Kant Nobody,” alongside the iconic Swizz Beatz and the late DMX. The anticipation for his return to the VMAs stage is nothing short of electric.
