Madonna is scheduled to perform at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards, marking her first live performance at the ceremony in more than two decades. Her previous appearance on the VMA stage took place in 2003, when she performed alongside Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
The performance comes at a time of renewed momentum for the artist. Madonna recently received 11 nominations at the VMAs following the release of her latest album “Confessions II,” surpassing nominations received by Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter. Across her career, she has accumulated 19 VMA wins and previously led in nominations with nine nods each in 1990 and 1998.
“Confessions II” represents a sequel to her 2005 album “Confessions on a Dance Floor.” Released following a seven-year gap in her discography, the record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 134,000 equivalent album units and set a personal streaming record. Industry observers have suggested the album positions Madonna as a potential contender at the Grammy Awards in the dance and electronic categories.
The MTV Video Music Awards will be held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, representing the ceremony’s first West Coast hosting location in nine years. The previous L.A. ceremony occurred in 2017. Snoop Dogg is set to host the event, with additional performers, presenters, and guests to be announced. The show will air live on September 27 at 4:30 p.m. PT on CBS, with simulcast coverage on MTV and Paramount+ (Premium) in the United States, and global availability on Paramount+ and MTV the following day.
