Demi Lovato, Karol G, Måneskin and Stray Kids will take the stage at New Jersey’s Prudential Center as headliners for the VMAs next month.
On Tuesday, MTV announced the first group of presenters for the show, which airs on Sept. 12.
Lovato, 31, will be returning for her first VMAs performance in six years, days before the release of her new album, “Revamped.”
The VMA performance marks a first for Colombian singer Karol G, 32, as well as K-Pop sensation Stray Kids.
Måneskin will be performing a world premiere of their forthcoming new single “Honey (Are You Coming?).”
Taylor Swift, 33, leads the pack with eight nominations, including video of the year, ahead of this year’s show.
Should Swift sweep in all of her categories, the already 14-time VMAs winner will dethrone Madonna, 64, — who’s collected 20 moon people over the past four decades — as the second-winningest VMA performer of all time with 22 moon persons.
Beyoncé, 41, who’s up for artist of the year, is the most awarded VMAs artist with a grand total of 26 solo wins, including the 2014 Video Vanguard award.
But the “Anti-Hero” singer needs to keep out for “Kill Bill” hitmaker SZA, 33, who trails right behind Swift with six noms, including video of the year.
Doja Cat, Kim Petras, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sam Smith have each racked up five nominations while BLACKPINK, Diddy and Shakira are all up for four awards.
The annual celebration will broadcast live from Newark, New Jersey’s famed Prudential Center on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. EST.
The show’s hosts have yet to be announced.
Jack Harlow, LL Cool J, and Nicki Minaj acted as last year’s hosting trio.
