Maneskin Announce First Ever North American Tour

Maneskin have just announced their first ever North American tour. In 2022, the Italian phenoms will play 17 dates in North American cities before venturing across their home continent in early 2023.

Maneskin have proven themselves as one of the most exciting new rock bands in years. Having graced the stage of Saturday Night Live , the MTV Europe Music Awards , New Year's Rockin' Eve and The Voice , the group's meteoric rise has helped rejuvenate rock 'n' roll for the younger generation.

"In Italy, there's really not a rock scene," bassist Victoria De Angelis described to Loudwire . "No other rock or anything like that is mainstream at all. So at first, everyone there was saying we weren't going to be successful. But now that everything is going so well and people are following us all around the world, no one is trying to change us. With record labels and in other countries, everyone is understanding of who we are and they're allowing us to be ourselves. And that is the most valuable thing for us."

General ticket sales begin March 25 at 10AM local time in the U.S. and 2PM (CET) in Europe. For all tour dates, tickets, and information, click here .

Måneskin announce huge 2022 / 2023 Loud Kids world tour

Måneskin’s first-ever global tour sees the band upgrading plenty of venues from their original 2022 touring plans…

Having delayed the announcement of their touring plans a couple of weeks ago, Måneskin are now back with a massive announcement: their first-ever headline world tour!

Taking place on both sides of the pond in 2022 and 2023, the band are bringing the Loud Kids tour to thousands of fans in the coming months, with plenty of venues having since been upgraded from the initial postponed dates to actual arenas (in London, they've gone from the O2 Academy Brixton to the absolutely whopping The O2).

"We’re so thrilled to be able to finally tell you that our Loud Kids tour got sooooo much louder, truly worldwide!" announce Måneskin. "The Loud Kids tour gets louder and will actually see our very first headline tour in North America. All our rescheduled European indoor dates have been upgraded due to demand and we’ve added some new ones for all of you who missed the chance to get their tickets.

"Of course, it is very difficult to make show announcements while the horrific war in Ukraine goes on and innocent people are suffering. We are devastated for the Ukrainian people and we stand with them in solidarity. And due to the decisions of the people in power, that affect the lives of so many innocent people, we will not go ahead with our Russian dates. We all need to stand together for peace, now and always."

Måneskin's feral rock is so potent, it will make your insides flip

COLUMBIA, Md. – A couple of hours before showtime, Italy’s finest exports this side of Sophia Loren are sitting backstage, casual in sneakers, socks and pullover sweaters, some seated on the floor, others on chairs and couches.

Soon, they will transform into the glamorous rock stars they’ve become , clad in similar-hued olive and black ensembles, thick-heeled boots and the kind of sex appeal – chiseled cheekbones, piercing eyes, tattoos covering lean torsos – that cannot be manufactured.

Måneskin – singer Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, drummer Ethan Torchio and guitarist Thomas Raggi − is finally taking some time to exhale. A recent whirl through New York started with a typically blistering performance at the MTV VMAs – where they won best rock video for their aching power ballad, “The Loneliest” – continued with a pop-up performance that packed Times Square and wrapped with a triumphant, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden Thursday.

The feat is significant.

Måneskin triumph with a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden

“It’s one of the most famous arenas in the world,” says David. “As an Italian band to sell it out, it is … unexpected.”

The New York date kicked off a North American leg of Måneskin’s Rush! world tour, named after the band's third studio album released in January and essentially a continuation of their Loud Kids tour that launched last fall.

Saturday's show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in suburban Maryland – an amphitheater outlier amid the arenas slated for most of this worldwide spin that will keep the band traveling through December – is proof of the level of adoration they’ve cultivated.

Teenagers and gray hairs stand shoulder to shoulder, seats and the ample lawn full, the tropical storm swiping the Mid-Atlantic this night no deterrent for fans who will bounce, sway and shout lyrics – in English and Italian – as Måneskin guides them through nearly two hours of purely joyful rock ‘n’ roll so potent, it makes your insides flip.

David is correct that an Italian band – teenage buskers in Rome about eight years ago – selling out one of the most hallowed venues in the world defines anomaly.

“We offer something rare nowadays,” David says by way of explanation. “The intensity of the show, there are no backing tracks, it’s all organic. In this moment, it’s unique. The other big (rock) bands are very much older than us and we connect the generations.”

But that an Italian band with a few rock hits – “Supermodel,” “The Loneliest,” “Gossip” and the new “Honey (Are U Coming?)” – but no massive radio airplay has accomplished a U.S. takeover is remarkable.

Måneskin live is a glorious bombardment of sound and light

“In Europe, we’re known from Eurovision ( which the band won in 2021 ) and most of our fans are our age,” says De Angelis, who, like her bandmates, is in her early 20s. “Here, a lot of people are coming to the shows saying, ‘I love rock music and you’re bringing it back in a new form.’ ”

Måneskin’s 20-song set is a glorious bombardment of searing lights, razor-sharp musicianship, effortless charisma and feral energy.

From the opening slow-build slammer “Don’t Wanna Sleep” to the pre-encore finale “Kool Kids,” with dozens of fans swarming the stage – at the band’s behest – to dance, sing and share in their sweat, Måneskin is relentless.

During “Zitti e buoni,” a European smash in 2021, Raggi attacks his fretboard with his guitar behind his head while De Angelis playfully cuts her striking bass notes at his feet and on her knees.

Damiano’s alluring vocals have hips to match as he dives into the singsong chorus of “Honey (Are U Coming?),” his gravelly voice soon turning honeyed for “Coraline,” performed with clenched eyes under a cluster of purple lights.

Torchio, meanwhile, combines his love of jazz drumming with the brawn of tom-tom thundering rock ‘n’ roll on every song, but particularly during a ferocious breakdown with De Angelis during “For Your Love.”

Each member – sans Torchio, for obvious reasons – takes a turn hopping into the cramped pit at the front of the stage to get nose-to-nose with fans, grinning through the feeding frenzy.

Måneskin still love 'Beggin.' Really.

While the Måneskin repertoire has expanded , a couple of relative classics still make the concrete floors practically shake – the sexually charged thumper “I Wanna Be Your Slave” and their Eurovision winner, a scrappy cover of “Beggin.’ ”

David received some criticism for his comment about The Four Seasons' hit at the Garden show: “I usually make fun of this song, but tonight we have to be grateful to this song,” he said.

But backstage at Merriweather Post, he promises that he “loves that song for many reasons” and was kidding with his flippant remark. “It’s a cute memory. It’s one of the first songs we played together seven years ago and when we went on (the Italian) ‘X Factor’ (in 2017), it was our first standing ovation. It’s always brought luck to us.”

Luck might factor in Måneskin’s success, but the commitment to honing their stagecraft and sharpening their musicianship is what has turned them into one of the best live bands currently gracing a stage.

The frontman attended 2024 MTV VMAs last night in New York where he served as one of the many presenters of the night. While on the red carpet, the singer took the time to speak about his new solo venture which will be released on September 27 .

While chatting with The Associated Press at the award show, David said: “I’ve been working for a long, long time on a new project and September 27 is the date of release so I would love everyone to stay tuned.”

After being asked about the difference between a solo mindset versus a band mindset, the vocalist shared: “Oh, this would be a long talk. You’ll see, there’s going to be a lot of new things.

He also discussed the future of Måneskin, adding: “The band is great. We are going to work on stuff. Nothing is going to change.”

His bandmate, Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis – who also recently announced her solo project and debut single ‘Get Up Bitch (Shake Ya Ass)’ featuring Anitta – was also in attendance at the VMAs last night and opened up to NME about the future of the band and put down any speculation on the disbandment of the group.

“We just finished our tour a couple of weeks ago and it went amazing so now we are just having a little ‘chill moment’, but of course, we are not done,” she told us.

Earlier this week, the singer shared a cryptic teaser on Instagram which showed him kitted out in a full suit, walking towards a private car in gloomy weather. Upon getting into the car, the driver asks him where he is looking to go, to which he gives the ambiguous answer: “Everywhere”. While it isn’t yet clear if the title ‘Everywhere’ alludes to a new single, album or even a new band for the vocalist.

The clip picks up from where the first cryptic teaser left off and sees the singer sitting in the back of a private car from the perspective of someone looking into his window.  “My name is Damiano David. I was born in 1999, Rome, Italy. I love music, arts and women. I love the feeling of beautiful clothes and the smell of a nice perfume. In my life I’ve been a thief, a liar, a lover, a shapeshifter,” he says in backing audio.

He continued: “I travelled all around the world to find my voice, just to end up where everything’s started. My name is Damiano David and today is the first day of my life.” David also shared an Instagram story of the ink to the monologue heard in the clip on Spotify.

Last year, David opened up about the prospect of going solo , and said that he could imagine it being both “a very healthy thing and a very destructive thing”.

“If I ever have the chance to do a solo project, I have to keep in my mind that it’s thanks to everything I did with the band. That’s my foundation. That’s where I come from. That’s where I developed as an artist,” he said. “And most of everything, it’s three people that always supported me and always literally had my back on stage supporting me. And I always had this shield of my band, my musicians. If I fuck up, they’re gonna save me. If they fuck up, I’m gonna save them.”

Måneskin’s last full-length release was 2023’s ‘ Rush ‘. In a  three-star review of the album ,  NME  shared: “To have navigated such a whirlwind period and arrived here, not just in one piece but thriving, is an astonishing accomplishment. A world tour will soon commence, including dates at arenas across Europe, where these songs will fight hard for space next to Måneskin’s customary cover renditions – there’s a good chance that some of them might win out.”

More recently, the  Eurovision  winners performed at this year’s edition of  Mad Cool Festival . In  a review of their live performance ,  NME  said: “Charging through the setlist like a well oiled machine – and doing so with their distinct brand of authenticity – Måneskin are at the very top of their game; it’s no wonder they make headline slots seem like a walk in the park.”

North American fans of Dua Lipa who’ve been clamoring for the U.S. to get a piece of the “Radical Optimism” tour will get their day… but they’ll have to wait for it, as Lipa won’t be coming to the States until September and October of 2025.

The pop superstar announced 20 dates in the U.S. and Canada for the fall of next year on Thursday, as part of a broader tour announcement that also included concerts she is adding onto her tour in Europe and other parts of the world starting in March.

Popular on variety.

For anyone who absolutely, positively can’t wait to see Lipa in the U.S., she did already have two shows booked for North America this fall, on separate weekends of the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas, Oct. 5 and 12.

These dates only begin to get at the market that exists for Lipa in North America. The tour art for the newly added tour legs does promise “more dates to be announced.” But that may not necessarily mean the additional shows yet to come will be in the U.S.; a press release specifies that South American shows will be announced at a later date. Generally speaking, there may be more international demand for Lipa’s live services than she’ll be able to meet this album cycle.

The singer is looking to saturate overseas territories to the extent possible before belatedly hitting the U.S. Her newly added tour dates for the spring and summer of 2025 include shows in London, Liverpool, Milan, Amsterdam, Munich, Prague, Paris, Lyon, Madrid, Antwerp and Auckland.

The new shows are in addition to concerts Lipa already had on the books for the remainder of 2024, mostly in Asian territories. Starting Nov. 5, through Dec. 5, she’ll be visiting Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Manila and Jakarta.

Lipa’s last international arena tour was marked by sellouts. Pollstar reported that the “Future Nostalgia” tour of 2022 grossed more than $100 million, with 1.3 million tickets sold in 80 reported shows over a nine-month period on four continents.

Dua Lipa’s newly added tour dates for 2025: Thu Mar 20 – Melbourne, Australia – Rod Laver Arena Wed Mar 26 – Sydney, Australia – Qudos Bank Arena Wed Apr 2 – Auckland, New Zealand – Spark Arena Sun May 11 – Madrid, Spain – WiZink Center Mon May 12 – Madrid, Spain – WiZink Center Thu May 15 – Lyon, France – LDLC Arena Fri May 16 – Lyon, France – LDLC Arena Mon May 19 – Hamburg, Germany – Barclays Arena Tue May 20 – Hamburg, Germany – Barclays Arena Fri May 23 – Paris, France – La Défense Arena Tue May 27 – Prague, CR – O2 Arena Wed May 28 – Prague, CR – O2 Arena Sat May 31 – Munich, Germany – Olympiahalle Sun Jun 1 – Munich, Germany – Olympiahalle Tue Jun 3 – Amsterdam, Netherlands – Ziggo Dome Wed Jun 4 – Amsterdam, Netherlands – Ziggo Dome Sat Jun 7 – Milan, Italy – Hippodrome San Siro (Ippodromo SNAI) Wed Jun 11 – Antwerp, Belgium – Sportpaleis Fri Jun 13 – Antwerp, Belgium – Sportpaleis Fri Jun 20 – London, UK – Wembley Stadium – PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED Sat Jun 21 – London, UK – Wembley Stadium – PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED Tue Jun 24 – Liverpool, UK – Anfield Stadium Fri Jun 27 – Dublin, Ireland – Aviva Stadium Mon Sep 1 – Toronto, ON – Scotiabank Arena Tue Sep 2 – Toronto, ON – Scotiabank Arena Fri Sep 5 – Chicago, IL – United Center Sat Sep 6 – Chicago, IL – United Center Tue Sep 9 – Boston, MA – TD Garden Wed Sep 10 – Boston, MA – TD Garden Sat Sep 13 – Atlanta, GA – State Farm Arena Sun Sep 14 – Atlanta, GA – State Farm Arena Wed Sep 17 – New York, NY – Madison Square Garden Thu Sep 18 – New York, NY – Madison Square Garden Fri Sep 26 – Miami, FL – Kaseya Center Sat Sep 27 – Miami, FL – Kaseya Center Tue Sep 30 – Dallas, TX – American Airlines Center Wed Oct 1 – Dallas, TX – American Airlines Center Sat Oct 4 – Los Angeles, CA – Kia Forum Sun Oct 5 – Los Angeles, CA – Kia Forum Sat Oct 11 – San Francisco, CA – Chase Center Sun Oct 12 – San Francisco, CA – Chase Center Wed Oct 15 – Seattle, WA – Climate Pledge Arena Thu Oct 16 – Seattle, WA – Climate Pledge Arena

Democrats claiming Florida Senate seat is in play haven't put money behind the effort to make it so

B OYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Florida Democrats made bold claims last week about their chances in a state that has steadily grown more conservative in recent years. But so far they have not matched their words with the kind of money it will take to win there.

“Florida is in play,” proclaimed Debbie Mucarsel-Powell , a former representative from Miami, at the start of a bus tour in defense of women's reproductive rights in Boynton Beach. Mucarsel-Powell is the choice of Florida Democrats to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Scott for one of a handful of Senate seats the GOP is defending this election cycle.

According to data from AdImpact, which tracks spending on advertising by political campaigns and their surrogates, Republicans have outspent Democrats on Florida's U.S. Senate race by roughly a 4-to-1 margin through Sept. 11, $12.7 million to $3.2 million. Based on ad spots currently reserved through the general election, that margin is expected to grow.

The dynamics of the Senate race mirror what has happened in the presidential race in a state that used to be hotly contested by both parties' top-of-the-ticket candidates. Vice President Kamala Harris did not attend the launch of the bus tour and has not been to Florida as a candidate since she replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president in the race against Republican former President Donald Trump.

The Republicans' massive spending advantage may help to explain why Scott scoffs at the claims coming from Democrats about Florida being competitive.

“They are so far from what Florida voters believe in, that they don’t have a chance in the world of winning Florida,” he said in an interview last week. “They don’t have a chance of beating Trump, and they don’t have a chance of beating me.”

Mucarsel-Powell says her side is more in touch with voters on issues such as reproductive rights. She says ballot amendments on both abortion rights and legalizing marijuana will help Democrats turn out voters. She also said the switch from Biden to Harris gave Florida Democrats a burst of fresh momentum.

“This is momentum that has been building for quite some time, and her announcement just was like the tip of the iceberg on the momentum and the energy that was building here around the state of Florida,” Mucarsel-Powell said in an interview.

A national AP-NORC survey conducted in July showed that about 8 in 10 Democrats said they’d be satisfied with Harris as the party’s nominee for president, versus 4 in 10 Democrats in March saying they’d be satisfied with Biden as the nominee.

But Mucarsel-Powell's task remains formidable. Although some polling shows Scott leading narrowly in the Senate race, national Democrats have yet to invest heavily in Florida’s expensive media markets. Harris, who has proven to be a prolific fundraiser since she became the Democratic nominee, recently allocated $25 million of her own campaign funds to help down-ballot Democrats in November — with only $10 million of those funds going to U.S. Senate candidates. Harris' campaign did not respond to questions on how these funds were being allocated.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said it has spent money on staffing and digital advertising on the race but didn't specify how much. In a statement, they did not address plans for spending going forward but said: “Scott’s unpopularity coupled with the strength of Debbie Mucarsel-Powell’s campaign makes Florida one of Senate Democrats top offensive opportunities.”

Scott, who has his eye on a Senate leadership position if he wins, said he would welcome a bigger effort from national Democrats.

“I hope they spend a bunch of money and waste it, because they don’t have a chance of winning the Senate in Florida,” he said.

Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried said national Democrats showed their support by starting their bus tour in Florida and sending campaign representatives there to support Democratic candidates. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who is in a strong enough position in her own reelection bid to work on behalf of other Democrats around the country, was one of several Democrats who joined Mucarsel-Powell at the start of the bus tour.

“They could have started anywhere else in the country. They started here in Palm Beach County, in Donald Trump’s backyard,” Fried said. "That shows how important Florida is, and that they are going to continue to watch what is happening on the ground, send surrogates here and making sure that we are in play for November.”

About 150 people attended the bus tour event.

Fried acknowledged that Democrats have been outspent on advertising in Florida, but she said they're putting their energy into campaigning at the grassroots level. She said 40,000 new volunteers signed up after Harris entered the race and were making an all-out effort to knock on doors and reach out to Florida voters by phone.

This year’s Florida ballot looks different from the one voters saw two years ago, where U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Ron DeSantis led the top of Florida’s ticket. The governor had hoped to ride a wave of momentum from his emphatic 19-point victory to national prominence but was unable to loosen Trump’s grip on the Republican Party nationally.

Trump, now a Florida resident, defeated Biden in Florida by 3.3 percentage points in 2020, further diminishing its status as a swing state.

Brian Ballard, a Republican political strategist who was a top fundraiser for Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, said the lackluster spending effort by Democrats will make it harder for Mucarsel-Powell to introduce herself to people across the state who don’t recognize her — as opposed to Scott, who was Florida’s governor from 2010 to 2018 and has since then been serving in the Senate.

The lack of spending from the national party, Ballard said, is “usually a sign of a losing campaign.”

“Florida is not in play,” Ballard said. “I hope the Democrats commit and spend a lot of money in Florida on the presidential race. It’ll move the needle not at all. If she’s relying on Democrats spending on top of the ticket, she’s relying on fool’s gold.”

The Florida contest has not drawn much attention from national Democrats, who are trying to hold onto far more Senate seats than Republicans this year. Instead, they have focused much of their energy and resources on defending seats they already hold, including in the red states of Ohio and Montana. Still, the Florida U.S. Senate race was close in late July, just before the Florida Senate primaries, according to a poll of Florida voters conducted by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab.

Scott said in the interview that he isn’t “taking a chance” by treating his own race lightly. And yet he has spent at least some of his time campaigning for other Republicans, including a trip across state lines to battleground Georgia last week for a town hall in Braselton, northeast of Atlanta.

“This is a team sport,” Scott said of his efforts on behalf of other GOP candidates.

Tiffany Lanier, 36, attended the bus tour Tuesday morning in Boynton Beach. Lanier, a Lake Worth civic engagement public speaker, said that although Biden ran on a similar platform to Harris, she thinks Harris’ position and emphasis on abortion rights really excites and motivates people to turn out to vote.

“I think it was more like in my wilder dreams that Florida would be in play for this November,” Lanier said. “I know that we are so very tight in the polls, but I do see that there is an energetic shift. And so, I do see a lot of possibility here.”

Chief elections analyst Chad Day contributed to this report.

VMAs 2024 live updates: Taylor Swift wins, Katy Perry honored, Megan Thee Stallion hosts and more

Everything to know about the 2024 vmas:.

• Megan Thee Stallion hosted the MTV Video Music Awards show at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
• Taylor Swift came into the show with 12 nominations, the most of any artist. Post Malone followed with nine nominations, while Ariana Grande, Eminem and Sabrina Carpenter each had six.
• Katy Perry received MTV’s Video Vanguard Award and performed a career-spanning medley live. Other performers this year included Carpenter , Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan , GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro.
• The VMAs have a history of memorable and provocative red carpet looks. See this year's stand-out outfits.

The 40th MTV Video Music Awards were chock-full of performances and peppered with memories of the award show’s storied four-decade history.

Taylor Swift took home the biggest award of the night — video of the year — in addition to six others, tying her with Beyoncé for the most VMA wins ever. After tonight, Swift and Beyoncé have 30 Moon People each to their names.

Chappell Roan took home the first major award of her career for best new artist, beating out Gracie Abrams and Tyla after a show-stopping summer on the festival circuit.

Iconic moments from VMAs past also got their place to shine. Notably, host Megan Thee Stallion took the stage with a live snake roped around her body as an homage to Britney Spears’ 2001 “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance. A supercut of such moments also featured Miley Cyrus twerking onstage with Robin Thicke in 2013 and Madonna’s 1984 “Like A Virgin” performance, among many others.

Tonight’s show ushered in a new era of iconic moments, as well, from Sabrina Carpenter’s kissing an alien during a mashup of her newest singles to Benson Boone’s flips off his piano and Roan’s performance in front of a burning castle.

No more Moon People for Queen Bey

Rebecca Cohen

Beyoncé was nominated for three awards tonight — song of the year, best trending video and most iconic performance — but ultimately did not win any.

The lackluster VMAs showing follows her being shut out of the Country Music Award nominations that were announced on Monday after coming out with her first country album, "Cowboy Carter."

Beyoncé still holds the record for most VMAs with 30 statues, although she's now tied with Taylor Swift, who won seven awards tonight.

She also took a moment to thank boyfriend Travis Kelce for cheering her on between takes.

Swift won the award in 2023 for “Anti-Hero” and in 2022 for “All Too Well (10 minute version) (Taylor’s Version).”

On her "Midwest Princess" tour, Roan invited local drag artists to open her shows. She has also spoken extensively about the role drag plays in her own performances.

She added, "For all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now, I see you, I understand you, because I’m one of you."

With the best new artist win, she joined the lofty company of artists like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Cardi B, who have all won the award.

Halsey just rocked out on stage, performing her latest single “Ego” in a makeshift garage.

The singer, who arrived on the carpet with long red hair and a matching gown, seemingly ditched her long locks before stepping on stage in a fiery pixie cut.

Rauw Alejandro leaves a piece of Puerto Rico on stage

Before the show began, Rauw Alejandro told interviewers he wanted to honor his Puerto Rican culture on stage tonight. He added that he also wanted to throw in nods to New York, where many Puerto Ricans have created tight-knit communities.

Alejandro delivered by honoring his Nuyorican roots on a set that emulated the city's apartment rooftops. He was joined by dancers and musicians who helped bring a slice of the island's musical heritage to the stage.

Sabrina Carpenter wins first VMA for song of the year

That's that Sabrina espresso, after all. The singer snagged the coveted award for her hit song "Espresso," which has dominated summer playlists since it was released in April.

"I've literally never won one of these," Carpenter said while accepting her moon person. "I feel so grateful to have truly the best fans in the world."

Song of the year

Sabrina Carpenter wins the song of the year VMA for “Espresso.” 

Benson Boone soars

Benson Boone, who already won the VMA for best alternative, started off his performance with a sweet serenade before literally flipping the song into a rocking show.

He promised a show with "lots of flips" and he certainly delivered with two literal backflips, the last being off of his piano. Boone's sweet crooning turned into big vocal crescendos as easily and quickly as he moved through the air.

Megan Thee Stallion is not just here to host

The rapper played an energized medley of hits from her album "Megan," starting off with "BOA," which is nominated in the best hip-hop category.

She cut to a dance break as fans chanted the chorus of "B.A.S" to her. Megan then launched into her venomous diss track "HISS," which made waves earlier this year and opened the door for disses against Drake .

She then brought out Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba to perform their viral hit "Mamushi," which won best trending video earlier tonight.

Tyla wins best Afrobeats

The South African singer Tyla won for her hit song "Water," which also spawned a viral trend on TikTok.

"African music can be pop music too," she said. "This is just so special but also bittersweet because I know there's a tendency to group all African artists under afrobeats."

The artist is also nominated for best new artist.

"African music is so diverse, it's more than just Afrobeats," she said as she accepted her award.

Best Afrobeats

Tyla wins the best Afrobeats VMA for “Water.” 

Chappell Roan performs: 'Your favorite drag queen's favorite artist' 

After a loving intro from drag queen Sasha Colby, Chappell Roan took the VMAs stage in full armor in front of a burning castle as she sang "Good Luck, Babe!" her hit summer single that has helped propel her to stardom.

Roan's rise to fame began with an opening act during Olivia Rodrigo's "Guts" tour in the Spring, which then paved the way for a sold-out festival circuit, all leading her to tonight's stage, where she is nominated for her first major awards including best new artist.

Roan credits Colby with a slogan she's used to reference herself — "your favorite artist's favorite artist." After shouting that on stage this summer, Roan said she got the quote from Colby, who coined "your favorite drag queen's favorite drag queen."

Colby introduced Roan tonight as "your favorite drag queen’s favorite artist."

Performances galore but few moon people

It's been about an hour since anyone accepted an award, with the exception of Katy Perry's pre-announced Vanguard award.

While there were quite a few awards announced in the pre-show livestream, no other statues have been given out since Taylor Swift and Post Malone accepted the best collaboration award.

Katy Perry performs her most nostalgic hits ahead of accepting Vanguard Award

Katy Perry gave a high-energy performance ahead of her acceptance of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

She was introduced by her fiancé Orlando Bloom, who gave a heartfelt tribute to the longtime pop star, noting that “the remarkable world she creates has brought a sense of joy and laughter, inspiring generations of people from all over the world.”

She took the stage in a cloud of colored smoke, held up by cables as she sang a mashup of “Dark Horse” and “E.T.” in mid-air. The singer then brought Doechii onstage for a snippet of their upcoming release “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE.”

Perry continued the show with a nostalgic string of her fan-favorites — “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “I Kissed a Girl” and “Firework" — before ending with her latest release "LIFETIMES" and sharing a post-performance kiss with Bloom.

"Thank you. I did that all on my first day of my period, too, can you believe it?" she said breathlessly as she accepted her Moon Person.

"I just want to say with my whole heart: Do whatever it takes to stay true to yourself and true to your art," she added in her speech. "Turn off social media, safeguard your mental health, pause, touch grass."

Anitta makes the VMAs feel like paradise

"The queen of Brazil" Anitta showed off her trilingual singing chops in a major medley alongside Tiago PZK, Fat Joe and DJ Khaled. She flawlessly transitioned from English to Portuguese and Spanish while showing off her impressive dance moves.

This is also her second all-white outfit of the night, which she suggested on the red carpet may be hinting at an upcoming surprise.

Taylor Swift ditches the punk plaid for sparkly green

Always one to keep people on their toes, Taylor Swift has made an unexpected outfit change.

While Swift arrived in a punk plaid ensemble, she appears to now be seated in a sparkling green gown. The singer was seen on an online stream in a beaded outfit that had a spaceship display, a likely nod to her performance of "Down Bad" during the "The Eras Tour," which features visuals of a UFO.

Sabrina Carpenter performs moonwalking mashup

At last year's VMAs, Sabrina Carpenter was relegated to a pre-show performance. Not this year.

This year, she performed a mashup of "Please Please Please," "Taste" and "Espresso" during the primetime ceremony. Carpenter danced, appropriately, with astronauts and an alien, who she proceeded to kiss onstage. The space-themed backdrop to her bubble gum pop bobs mirrored the iconic Moon Person statue awarded to VMA winners.

Carpenter's most recent album, "Short n' Sweet," is her sixth studio album and first to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. After opening for Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" and performing her breakout hit "Espresso" at Coachella this spring, Carpenter has ascended into pop's most rarified echelon.

LISA rocks out on the VMA stage

With pyrotechnics and leather outfits, LISA put on a rockin' show for her performance on the VMAs stage.

She started her performance with her latest single "New Woman," although Rosalia, her collaborator on the song, was absent.

She then transitioned into "Rockstar," which is nominated in the best K-Pop category.

Megan Thee Stallion pays homage to Britney Spears' 'I'm a Slave 4U'

With a large yellow snake wrapped around her body, Megan Thee Stallion gave a nod to Britney Spears' iconic "I'm a Slave 4 U" VMAs performance by wearing the same green and blue two piece while performing her hosting duties.

"I don’t know this snake, this snake don’t know me," she said. She then screamed as someone tried to remove the snake from her body.

Chappell Roan’s success marks the rise of the ‘middle class’ pop star

Chappell Roan is no longer just “your favorite artist’s favorite artist.”

Roan, who is known for the queer themes in her music and her drag-inspired aesthetic, is among the recent crop of artists who have hit unforeseen career highs in recent months, despite being considered part of pop music’s “middle class.”

This designation has typically been associated with artists who have cultivated devout  online fan bases , but who are not necessarily household names.

A-list pop stardom has become increasingly difficult to achieve. But some music industry experts say the recent rise of Roan and others — including Sabrina Carpenter, Tinashe and Charli XCX — is a testament to their authenticity and ability to foster such strong fandoms.

Taylor Swift honors 9/11 victims

Taylor Swift just took home her second Moon Person of the night with a win for best collaboration for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone. She opened her acceptance speech with an acknowledgement of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks given the event's location in New York.

Speaking about her music video, Swift described her collaborator Post Malone as “everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with.”

“And it is because you are so ridiculously talented, you are so versatile and you’re the most down to earth person,” Swift said. “Honestly, so unfailingly polite, it has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me ‘ma’am.’”

Flavor Flav gifts Jordan Chiles a replacement medal

After being stripped of her Olympic bronze medal shortly after leaving Paris, Flavor Flav followed through on his promise to award Jordan Chiles a custom-made replacement.

"I gotcha something that they can't take away from you," Flavor Flav told the two-time Olympian on the VMAs stage. He bestowed her with a bronze clock necklace and tied it on her neck himself.

Megan Thee Stallion opens the show with a nod to the Paris Games

The host opened the show with a message to everyone watching.

“Shout out to my hotties, and my haties ‘cause I know y’all watching too,” she said.

She donned a Team USA-inspired leotard while greeting viewers. She then passed the mic to Jordan Chiles and Flavor Flav.

Flav gave Chiles a bronze clock and promised to gift her the prize money she lost after her bronze medal was stripped from her after last month's Paris Olympic Games.

Best collaboration

Eminem brings his mob of Slim Shadys to open the VMAs

Opening the show with his song "Houdini," off of his latest album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)," the rapper brought a gang of his alter egos to support him on stage. He also brought a doppelgänger who looked strikingly similar to his younger self.

Jelly Roll also made a virtual appearance to perform with Eminem on their collaboration "Somebody Save Me."

Lenny Kravitz dedicates best rock win to late mother

The VMA for best rock video went to Lenny Kravitz for “Human” from his 2024 album, “Blue Electric Light.”

He dedicated the award to his late mother, who died in 1995.

"31 years ago, my mother was with me," he said after his win. "The last time she was with me at an award show was at the VMAs and so I dedicate this to her.”

Kravitz will perform at tonight's ceremony for the first time since 1998.

Taylor Swift is on the carpet

The highly anticipated arrival of Taylor Swift is finally here as the singer poses for the cameras ahead of tonight's show. She won a VMA for song of summer before even setting foot on the carpet.

Swift is known for using her award show outfits as a way to clue in fans about her upcoming projects. Last year, Swift's black and white dress at the Grammys hinted at her announcement of the album "The Tortured Poets Department" later during the show. That came after she announced her album "Midnights" at the 2022 VMAs, wearing a silver-draped dress that hinted at a new "Bejewled" era for the singer.

So with fans eager for her to drop "reputation (Taylor's Version)," is her outfit signaling any easter eggs for news to come?

'Fortnight' nabs song of summer

Taylor Swift has officially won her first award of the night.

Her single "Fortnight" from "The Tortured Poets Department" won song of the summer, which was announced on the VMAs red carpet before the awards show even kicked off.

If she takes home at least six more of the 12 awards she's nominated for tonight, she will match Beyoncé's record for most VMA wins.

Megan Thee Stallion wins best trending video

Megan Thee Stallion was caught off guard by the news of her own win as pre-show host Kevan Kenney abruptly handed her a Moon Person. The rapper, who is also hosting the VMAs this year, clinched the best trending video award for “Mamushi” featuring Yuki Chiba.

“Me and Yuki recorded that song in Japan in like, a small apartment studio, and we were just messing around,” Megan said, adding that she was "shocked" by fans' embrace of the song.

The singer is up for six more categories tonight.

Taylor Swift's presidential endorsement hangs in the air

The self-proclaimed "Childless Cat Lady" endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris after Tuesday night's debate, inspiring some 330,000 v isits to vote.gov in the process. It's unclear if the pop star will continue speaking out about politics in the weeks before the election.

Song of summer

Expect a tribute to 9/11

This year’s show had originally been scheduled for Sept. 10 but was moved to Sept. 11 because the broadcast would clash with Tuesday’s presidential debate. 

The show’s producers plan to recognize the 9/11 attacks by donating proceeds from the show to 9/11 Day, a nonprofit that organizes community service programs on the anniversary of the attacks, and Tuesday’s Children, which helps support impacted families. 

Taylor Swift has a chance to break Beyoncé's record

Pop sensation Taylor Swift is the most nominated artist of the night, with the potential to make history by breaking fellow nominee Beyoncé's record.

Swift is up for a total of 12 awards, including video of the year, artist of the year and song of the year. Currently, Swift has a total of 23 VMAs throughout her career and is seven awards shy of matching Beyoncé's record of 30.

But Beyoncé is also nominated for several VMAs tonight following the success of her country album "Cowboy Carter" — which was notably snubbed from the Country Music Association Awards earlier this week. The album's hit song, "Texas Hold 'Em," is up against Swift's "Fortnight" for song of the year.

Naomi Scott attends her first VMAs

British actress and singer Naomi Scott, who plays pop star Skye Riley in the upcoming film “Smile 2,” said her character drew inspiration from some of the pop stars here tonight.

As for the movie itself, slated to release in theaters Oct. 18, the first-time VMA attendee teased it as being “kind of like the first movie, but on steroids and a lot of party drugs.

“It’s very intense, but it’s so fun and so unhinged and also kind of funny,” Scott said. “My director brought me in to watch some of the edit, and I remember just being like, I wish I was here with my best friend, because we would just be grabbing each other laughing and screaming.”

'Dreams don’t have deadlines:' LL Cool J on his first album in a decade

After a 10-year break from releasing music, LL Cool J dropped his 14th studio album, "The Force," on Friday.

"I wanted to show the people that I came up with that your dreams don't have deadlines," he said on the MTV pre-show. "You could continue to do this thing at a high level. You don't have to be successful at one age and then all of a sudden taper off and wallow around in mediocrity."

He is set to perform in tonight’s ceremony, but the legendary artist's relationship with the VMAs started 27 years ago. LL Cool J became the first rap artist to win the Video Vanguard Award in 1997, which he noted as his favorite VMAs moment.

"I am a kid raised on hip hop ... So that was an unbelievable moment," he said of the honor.

Jordan Chiles makes VMAs debut after bronze medal debacle

Two-time Olympic champion Jordan Chiles made her first public appearances on Wednesday since she was stripped of her bronze medal from the Paris Olympic Games.

"This is a dream come true to be able to come to the VMAs," Chiles said. "Meeting people, especially celebrities out here." Despite the big names in the room, Chiles said her Olympic resume has prepared her for this moment.

Competing is "harder than doing an interview," she joked.

Hours before the VMAs ceremony, Chiles spoke at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit in New York City, where she said the controversy was more about "peace" and "justice" for her than the medal itself.

"The biggest thing that was taken from me was the recognition of who I was, not just my sport, but the person I am ... the star is never going to get dimmed." she said.

Best trending video

Katy Perry arrives at the VMAs ahead of her Vanguard award

Katy Perry is serving a wet look on the carpet. She will be performing a medley of her biggest hits later tonight in celebration of her Video Vanguard award, which celebrates an artists' career and impact on pop culture.

Addison Rae gives showgirl chic

The TikToker-turned-pop star arrived on the carpet wearing a white feathery bikini set with a tulle bustle.

She said the look was partly inspired by Madonna, who wore a wedding dress in her performance of "Like A Virgin" during the 1984 VMAs.

The "Diet Pepsi" singer is a presenter at tonight's awards.

Chappell Roan is thinking about her ex tonight

Chappell, who is nominated for best new artist alongside three other categories, said it would be “awesome” if she won — noting that she’s “never won anything.” If she does cinch the category, she said, she wants to give a shoutout to her ex: “You got me here.”

Chappell said she’s a bit nervous about performing in front of her peers tonight, many of whom she said she looks up to. The pop star teased in a red-carpet interview with MTV that her performance will include “a lot of technical things going on that I’ve never had happen.”

She also shared a few details about the medieval look she donned on the carpet.

“That robe that I had on ... was 300 years old. And then the rug that was rolled out is 600 years old," she said.

Most iconic performance

Katy Perry wins the most iconic performance VMA for “Roar.”

Best alternative

The winner for best alternative is Benson Boone for his song “Beautiful Things,” awarded during the pre-show livestream on YouTube.

Boone thanked the fans for all their support and their votes as he accepted the Moon Man statue in an interview on the carpet.

“You know what? This has been the craziest year of my life so far,” Boone said. “I’m truly honored to be in this crowd of people... it’s been pretty insane for me.”

When asked about his performance to come later tonight, Boone just said, “lot of sparkles, lots of flips.”

Halsey teases performance of new song ‘Ego’

Halsey put the red in red carpet tonight (although the VMAs carpet is technically black), with long, bright red locks and a gown to match.

She also teased her later performance of a new song called "Ego," which officially dropped on Friday as the fourth single in the lead up to her highly-anticipated album, "The Great Impersonator."

In June, the singer revealed she has been battling chronic illnesses in a social media post tied to the release of "The End," another song on her upcoming album. In the post, Halsey did not confirm any diagnoses.

"long story short, i'm Lucky to be alive. short story long, i wrote an album," Halsey wrote in the post.

The VMAs are pop culture gold

If the Grammys are the music industry's biggest night, the VMAs may be the most entertaining.

Since the first VMAs were held in New York City's Radio City Music Hall in 1984, an astounding number of prolific moments in pop culture history have taken place with the iconic "moon person" statue standing nearby.

From Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 ceremony to Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera shocking early 2000's America by kissing onstage, the VMAs have a knack for crystalizing cultural moments. Many of these moments will likely be revisited tonight in the new most iconic performance category.

'Twin, where have you been?' Muni Long arrives on the carpet

The singer's TikTok-viral song "Made For Me" is nominated in the best R&B category.

The Kelces are wishing nominees luck — 'except if you're up against Tay'

Jason and Travis Kelce are excited for everyone nominated for a moon man tonight, but they're especially hyped for Taylor Swift.

The brothers plugged the award show as one of the advertisements in this morning's episode of their podcast "New Heights." Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce proudly pointed out that his girlfriend was up for multiple VMA awards.

"Let's go, Tay! Come on, Tay!" Jason Kelce cheered.

"Stay on top! Here we go," Travis Kelce said while clapping. "Wishing everybody the best though."

"Unless you're up against Tay, then I hope you lose," his brother joked.

Anitta teases a surprise

Brazilian sensation Anitta has arrived at the VMAs ahead of her expected performance in a wedding-style dress and veil.

“It’s a little spoiler of something,” the singer told MTV on the red carpet. “But I can’t say much.”

Sabrina Carpenter shimmers on the black carpet

Sabrina Carpenter has arrived dressed in head-to-toe white. Carpenter dominated the summer charts and is nominated for seven categories tonight — including artist of the year, song of the year and song of summer. Fans are also awaiting a highly anticipated performance tonight.

LE SSERAFIM kicks off first performance of the night

South Korean girl group LE SSERAFIM just hyped up the black carpet with a pre-show performance of "1-800-hot-n-fun," a track off their fourth EP "Crazy." The group is up tonight for PUSH performance of the year for “EASY."

Shaboozey dazzles on the carpet

The country artist has had a major year, from snagging two features on Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" to releasing a smash hit with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," which is nominated for song of the summer.

LISA looks like a 'Rockstar'

LISA, known for her work as part of K-Pop group Blackpink and as a soloist, is nominated in the best K-Pop category for her single "Rockstar." She is also expected to perform tonight.

In an interview with MTV on the carpet, she shared why her music video for the song was so special.

"I had a chance to shoot in my home country, in Bangkok, and I think it's really cool," she said.

It's a special birthday for the VMAs

This year marks the 40th anniversary of MTV's Video Music Awards.

Over the course of its history, the VMAs have remained a cornerstone of the music awards landscape despite drastic changes in the music, video and broadcast landscapes.

The show has kept its relevance in part by delivering moments of controversy that ultimately shaped pop culture history. It's also managed to integrate digital platforms into its programming, including by adding categories that honor social media success and even allowing viewers to vote for their favorite artists via Instagram stories.

The rapid rise of Chappell Roan

Once a niche pop singer from Missouri trying to make it in Los Angeles, Chappell Roan has skyrocketed to mainstream fame over the past year. Known for the queer themes in her music as well as her drag-inspired aesthetic, Roan’s high-energy music — paired with her deeply emotional lyricism — has earned her a cult following online.

Her debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” released last September, became a sleeper hit that further cemented her status this summer as a rising pop icon. The album charted in the top five on the U.S. Billboard 200 earlier this year, after Roan’s stint as Olivia Rodrigo’s opening act and the release of her hit followup single, “Good Luck, Babe!”

The artist has been open in speaking about the impact of sudden fame on her mental health, recently telling Rolling Stone that "it's been a really hard adjustment."

The 'Midwest Princess' herself is here

Chappell Roan has arrived at the VMAs — holding a sword. The rising pop star is up for four categories this year, including best new artist and song of summer. She's also one of the night's most anticipated performers.

Katy Perry to receive the Video Vanguard Award

The pop star and recently departed American Idol judge dominated the 2010s with hits like “Teenage Dream,” “California Gurls” and “Roar,” delivering some classic, candy-colored music videos along the way.

Now, ahead of her upcoming album “143,” she is being honored with the Video Vanguard Award, which celebrates artists who have made major contributions to music videos and popular culture. 

As is tradition with the winners of this award, Perry will perform a medley of her biggest hits.

Karol G's look is fire

The Colombian superstar has arrived at the VMAs red carpet. She said her outfit and performance tonight will honor her Latino community.
