Singer-songwriter Beyonce is set to perform at the upcoming edition of MTV Video Music Awards to mark the 40th anniversary of the show this September.
This will be the first time since 2016 that the 'Cowboy Carter' hitmaker has appeared on the show, the Daily Mail reports ‘Mirror.co.uk’.
Indeed, in 2016, she walked away with eight trophies and performed 16 minutes of her Lemonade medley.
But Beyoncé never failed to secure VMA nominations ever since, including 2018, 2020, and 2021. However, she also decided not to go, but instead, to continue to focus on her venture, such as taking a tour of Renaissance last year.
Although one source said that a return to the VMAs by the icon would be a major coup for the said event and could expect to pull in more viewership. Plans are now currently underway to decide on the details of her performance, whether a single song or perhaps a tribute performance similar to what she did four years ago, which was the closing act of her 2014 performance and was coincidentally the night she became an inductee to receive the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
The source furthermore said that the VMAs are doing so as it tries to regain its lost glory. Plans are now underway to make sure that a reality TV star or a TikTok sensation can hardly get accredited to the event. Instead, the event is making sure that, most of all, high-caliber artists like Dua Lipa, Muni Long, and Billie Eilish get the priority treatment.
More importantly, there's a new hope that global sensation Taylor Swift will be booked. Adding further excitement to this year's show.
