It’s time to make it rain, with a little help from Ariana Grande.
The global superstar chanteuse will bring her powerhouse vocals to the 2020 VMAs stage alongside her collaborator Lady Gaga. The pair will bring their energetic anthem “Rain on Me” to life for its world-premiere performance — a fitting celebration for the two artists who lead this year’s nominations.
Grande and Gaga garnered the most nods in 2020 with nine each, including seven for “Rain on Me,” a contender for Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, and more. Billie Eilish and The Weeknd follow close behind with six each. Grande also nabbed two noms for “Stuck With U,” her stay-at-home charity team-up with Justin Bieber.
Must be something in the water, because Miley Cyrus is back to deliver another iconic performance at the VMAs!
The singer has a rich history at the VMAs, including her turn as a host in 2015, as well as her breathtaking rendition of “Slide Away” at last year’s show. On August 30, the global superstar will make her live debut of “Midnight Sky,” her latest single which dropped just a few days prior. Cyrus’s directional music video for “Mother’s Daughter,” which was inspired by the radical feminist group Femen, is also nominated for Best Art Direction and Best Editing.
