MTV recruited Megan Thee Stallion to host the 2024 Video Music Awards. This year’s VMAs will be held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on September 11.
The 2024 VMAs mark Megan’s first time hosting an awards show, but she does have host experience. She previously hosted Saturday Night Live and once co-hosted The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Megan was nominated for five awards at this year’s VMAs, including “Best Collaboration” with her tourmate Glorilla. Big Glo is scheduled to perform at the show. MTV booked Sabrina Carpenter, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, and more to perform at the 2024 VMAs. Katy Perry will receive the Video Vanguard Award and perform. Past recipients include Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Missy Elliott, LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys. The 2024 VMAs were originally scheduled for September 10. MTV moved the event to September 11 to avoid a conflict with the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
