“Need all of my fellow Little Monsters to COME TO THE FRONT! Why, you ask?! Oh, because MOTHER MONSTER HERSELF IS PERFORMING AT THE 2025 #VMAs!!!!” MTV posted on X.
Gaga joins an already stacked lineup of performers, including Jelly Roll, Doja Cat, Post Malone, Tate McRae, Mariah Carey, Sabrina Carpenter and J Balvin.
This will mark Gaga’s first VMAs performance since 2020, when she took home multiple trophies, including artist of the year and song of the year for “Rain on Me.”
She’s leading the pack at this year’s awards with 12 nominations, followed closely by her “Die With a Smile” collaborator Bruno Mars with 11. Other top contenders include Kendrick Lamar (10), ROSÉ and Sabrina Carpenter (eight each), Ariana Grande and The Weeknd (seven each) and Billie Eilish (six).
In the lead-up to the show, Gaga has been teasing her next single “The Dead Dance,” which is set to debut Sept. 3. The track will be featured in Netflix’s Wednesday series, starring Jenna Ortega. Gaga is also slated to make a surprise cameo in the show.
“The Dead Dance” will be Gaga’s first new release since her Mayhem album, which dropped in March and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. She’s currently promoting the set on her Mayhem Ball tour.
This year’s VMAs will be the first to air on CBS, while also simulcasting on MTV and streaming live on Paramount+ in the U.S.
