We're looking at: Bad Bunny, Camila Cabello, J Balvin, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Rosalía and Shawn Mendes, with more artists and surprise presenters to come over the next week. That's an objectively excellent lineup — we've had all those names on regular rotation lately. Let's hope some fun collabs happen on stage, too. Shawn and Camila, perhaps? Or Bad Bunny and Rosalía?
Also confirmed to perform live on the VMAs stage — for the first time in 13 years — is Missy Elliott. She's set to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, which is obviously a long overdue accolade.
