If Doja hosts I might have to watch. Fuck whatever MTV employee had this really good idea.

Holy shit this is huge, the last time a country performer took the VMA's stage was in 2012 when Taylor Swift still made country music

Really love to see Kacey performing - she has a good buzz going on, hope it translates to chart and streaming success.

This performer list is actually looking decent. Look at that, Music Television thinking about music...

Having Doja host this year's VMAs was such a brilliant idea! I'm confident she'll do a great job and will bring a fair share of viral moments to an event sorely missing those (spontaneous ones at that!). Genius move, and amazing exposure for Doja beyond her music too.
Despite the weird feeling surrounding the ceremony, performance-wise, I actually quite enjoyed last year's show - especially after the mixed bag of 2019. However, the event would have obviously been elevated with Dua and Harry being able to attend (+ properly honoured), which is probably the main issue with the show lately - unfair nominations and attend-to-win rumours discourage important names from attending, hence no fun interactions and no reason to pay attention beyond the uploaded performances.
So far, 2021's line-up is looking pretty promising, and I love the inclusion of less commercially successful acts like Lorde, Kacey, and Chlöe, who will all really benefit from this level of exposure. We have current hit-makers with Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat and Lil Nas X, with hopefully the likes of The Weeknd, Silk Sonic, and Billie Eilish joining soon. I would love to see SZA performing too, but it's wishful thinking from my part. Also, #LetNormaniPerform
Since Cardi is unlikely to perform due to her pregnancy, imagine how cool would it be to have Lizzo and Normani joining forces to promote their songs together? 🥰

The Gaga show last year made Chromatica climb 64-34 on album chart so there was an effect. They will probably get BTS, Olivia Rodrigo and Lil Nas X as hype acts? Also, it boosts Midnight Sky & Rain on me on Spotify / iTunes and (a little bit on) Apple Music

I know COVID is a thing but I'm ready for the audience to come back, if iHeart could do it in May, there's no reason MTV can't at least bring in a vaccinated crowd or have them all wear masks. Last years show was cool on how experimental some of the performances could get without a crowd but they were a bit awkward.

They are doing a vaccinated, masked, crowd for the red carpet and actual awards show.

Probably no one. They are not capable of any logical continuation whatsover.

I think with the folklore hype it would make sense to give it to Taylor Swift. But it doesn't feel like anyone should get it this year tbh.

Gaga is too busy being a movie star. Katy... idk. They're both great choices and deserving, but neither feels like they need to be rewarded this year.
(Gaga made sense last year with Chromatica and they didn't even award the damn thing).

This is most likely fan created rumors but not a bad idea at all. She performed Hero right after her breakdown when 9/11 happened and it would be full circle to perform this all these years later

I'd like to see Katy Perry get the Video Vanguard award, but usually the award is awarded to an artist that is also having a big year, which Katy hasn't had in like 7. But I still think her impact on music videos should be acknowledged, especially since her videos in the Teenage Dream era are still really iconic.
I don't think they'll award it this year, but if they do I have a feeling it'll be Bieber, because he's so ubiquitous this year. The Weeknd and Ariana are a bit too new to get it, maybe Bruno? I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. If Katy had some sort of project coming up... when JLo and Missy got it they weren't really having any memorable years, but they had new singles out so they jumped at the chance to promote. Bieber will get it one day for sure... it would kinda make sense this year because he's been on a few huge hits. The Weeknd has made some great songs but in terms of videos has he really made anything that good? The After Hours ones were memorable because of the suit but that also got some help from being used in many live performances. Ariana has really stepped it up recently with the videos. Pre-"Side to Side" her videography was... not that great. She'll get it whenever it's a slow year for the legends and she has a new album out.

Just give those two to BTS and move on already lol.
I wonder how M5 feels about getting a nod. Adam publicly disowned the VMAs a few years ago.

The got Chloe performing and Haily presenting little shade there lol but Kacy Musgraves seems like the only other singer I'm remotely interested in hearing sing.
I'll be looking forward to the social media freakout over anything Lil Nas does.
The presenters seem like mix and match of 2000s and late
