    According to the president of Music, Music Talent, Programming and Events for ViacomCBS Media Networks, Bruce Gillmer, this year’s VMAs will be hosted by the Hustlers actress, Keke Palmer. He said that Keke’s energetic force and comedic wit will make this year’s show unforgettable.

    Viewers will also be entertained with performances from Lady Gaga, BTS, The Weeknd Roddy Ricch, and Maluma. There will be performances from CNCO, Doja Cat, Balvin, and Miley Cyrus, too.

    As far as nominations are concerned, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande topped the list this year with nine nominations each including their collaboration, “Rain on Me”, for Video of the Year. Billie Eilish and The Weeknd followed next with six nominations each while Taylor Swift has five nominations under her name.
