Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camilla Cabello and more have been confirmed to be performing at the 2024 VMAs next month.
All three have have made headlines in pop throughout 2024. The Cover alumna Roan enjoyed a meteoric rise, partly thanks to her viral hit ‘Good Luck Babe!’, with her 2023 album ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess’ topping the UK charts almost a year after it was released.
Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter has had an equally huge year with her smash hit ‘Espresso‘ and forthcoming album ‘Short N’ Sweet’, while Cabello has just released her new album ‘C,OXO’.
They will be joined by GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro.
The ceremony was due to take place on September 10 in New York but will now take place on September 11 to avoid clashing with a presidential debate, which will be the first time candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will face off against each other.
