Lady Gaga to Electrify MTV VMAs with Groundbreaking Performance and Historic Tricon Award Honor!

Get ready, Little Monsters! The one and only Lady Gaga is set to ignite the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, promising an electrifying performance that will undoubtedly be the talk of the night. Not only is the global superstar scheduled to perform, but she's also nominated for a staggering nine awards and will be honored with the inaugural MTV Tricon Award, solidifying her status as a true icon across music, fashion, and activism.

Gaga's highly anticipated performance marks her first at the VMAs since 2013, making this return all the more monumental.

Fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to see what dazzling spectacle she will bring, especially following the success of her latest album, 'Chromatica.' With nine nominations under her belt, including Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Collaboration for 'Rain On Me' with Ariana Grande, it’s poised to be a truly golden night for the pop queen.

The MTV Tricon Award is a brand-new accolade designed to celebrate artists who have achieved exceptional success and impact across multiple disciplines.

Given Lady Gaga's unparalleled influence in music, her audacious and innovative fashion statements, and her unwavering advocacy for mental health and LGBTQ+ rights, she is the perfect, indeed the only, choice to be its first recipient. This honor recognizes her as a triple-threat pioneer, constantly pushing boundaries and inspiring millions worldwide.

But Lady Gaga won't be the only superstar gracing the virtual stage.
