Miley Cyrus returns to the VMAs for the debut performance of ‘Midnight Sky’


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 host in 2015, as well as her breathtaking release of “Slide Away” at last year’s show. On August 30, the worldwide superstar will make her live debut of “Midnight Sky,” her latest single that fell just a few days before. Cyrus’ directional music video for “Mother’s Daughter”, inspired by the radical feminist group Femen, has also been nominated for Best Art Direction and Best Editing.

This exciting squad of artists includes this year’s Lady Gaga – set to bring her Chromatica album to life – along with BTS, who will take the stage to mark the TV debut of their upcoming single “Dynamite.” Fellow worldwide pop talents The Weeknd, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Roddy Ricch, Maluma, and CNCO are also all ready to perform. Keke Palmer will host the show.

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande led the VMA nominations this year with nine nods each, closely followed by Billie Eilish and The Weeknd, who each have six. See the full list of nominees, and vote at this time, for vma.mtv.com.
