2024 MTV VMAs: Anitta, Karol G, LL Cool J, and Shawn Mendes Set to Shine
The 2024 MTV VMAs are about to light up the stage with an electrifying lineup that promises to be espectacular. Joining the fiesta are none other than Anitta, Karol G, LL Cool J, and Shawn Mendes, ready to bring their unique flavors to this iconic event. The show is set to kick off live from New York’s UBS Arena on Wednesday, September 11th at 8 p.m. ET/PT, and it’s going to be una noche inolvidable.
Anitta, la reina del funk brasileño, is back for her third consecutive year, bringing her signature style to the MTV stage. She’s set to perform a medley of “Savage Funk” and “Alegria,” along with the world premiere of “Paradise,” featuring guest stars Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, and Tiago PZK. Anitta made history as the first Brazilian to win at the VMAs in 2022, and this year she’s aiming for her third consecutive “Best Latin” award with two nominations in that category. ¡Vamos, Anitta!
Karol G is also making her return, following her stunning debut last year where she snagged her first Moon Person for “Best Collaboration” alongside Shakira. Her performance of “Oki Doki” / “Tá Ok” left the audience wanting more, and this year, she’s ready to captivate once again with her sultry and powerful presence.
LL Cool J, the legend himself, is set to hit the stage with new music from his upcoming album “The Force.” Last year, he celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop with a memorable performance, marking his first VMAs appearance in over 25 years. This year, he’s back to remind everyone why he’s one of the greatest, bringing his classic style and energy to the forefront.
Shawn Mendes is gearing up to give us a taste of his upcoming fifth studio album with his first televised performance of a new song. Known for his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, Shawn is sure to deliver a performance that will resonate with fans worldwide.
The VMAs, originally scheduled for September 10th, have been moved to September 11th due to the first debate of the election cycle. But no worries, the excitement is still building as Taylor Swift leads the nominees with 10 nods, followed closely by Post Malone with nine, thanks to their hit duet “Fortnight.” Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, and Eminem are also in the running with six nominations each, while Megan Thee Stallion, SZA, Lisa, Olivia Rodrigo, and Teddy Swims are hot on their heels with multiple nods.
So get ready, mi gente, because this year’s VMAs are set to be a night of music, celebration, and unforgettable performances. ¡Nos vemos allí!
