Supposedly Britney will be in attendance. The mere rumor of Britney's appearance >>>>> the entire performance lineup.

The last amazing VMA was 2009.
Gaga's showstopper with the blood on her face, Beyonce's "Single Ladies" performance, Kanye grabbing the mic from Taylor, Lil Mama crashing Jay Z and Alicia's set, Madonna opening the show with her MJ speech going into Janet's "Scream" performance...J.Lo walking out to "Baby By Me" (50 Cent) to present an award. LOL.
Yeah. That's the last show that had that 90's flare of outrageousness, diversity, and epic talked about moments.

People are nuts. Lol Nick did not ask for a pre-show slot to get more viewers from a Taylor Swift premiere. He had no idea she was going to premiere her video during this, and the pre-show is not going to just rocket up millions of views for TS premiere. Like with any youtube premiere, it will probably leak an hour or two before it actually "premieres" on TV anwyays. Most people are not going to sit through a live preshow just for taylor. They will watch a stream online if they are that desperate. Hey, that theory is no more nuts than the fact that Nick got stuck with a pre-show slot while Tori Kelly and 21 Pilots get to hit the main stage. It's speculation either way but who is to say what he did or didn't know? At the very least, the video premiere makes the pre-show feel less like a "pre" show and more like something worth tuning in a little early to see on its own, meaning it's not a huge snub to be stuck being the one guy performing there. Again, Tori is only at the main stage because (most likely) Ed Sheeran will be a "Surprise" performance with her. And Not sure why Twenty One Pilots would be such a shock? They just had a #1 album with almost 150,000 units sold which is one of the most successful alternative acts of the year. Plus, they are huge MTV Favorites and appeal to the demo MTV wants.

So, MTV announced Nicki today as planned. Posted her on their Instagram and named her a performer. Nicki also posted something about big news being revealed today. Her and MTV both deleted all their posts mentioning her as a performer.
Weird. Who tries to make something a surprise after it's already been announced? I don't get it.
They didn't delete the article on MTV.com, though.

I could see Macklemore's performance be a "showstopping performance" if they get the guy from Foxy Shazam to belt the chorus of Downtown while crazy crap happens in the background.

J.Lo walking out to "Baby By Me" (50 Cent) to present an award. LOL. I don't get that one. Is it supposed to mean something specifically?

If her performing is true, that will be the showstopper that everyone wants

www.mtv.com/news/2253835/celebs-2015-mtv-vmas-spears-jenner-swift/?xrs=_s.fb_mainPresenters: Britney Spears, Rita Ora, Miguel, John Legend, Ne-Yo, Ice Cube (and his son and “Straight Outta Compton” star, O’Shea Jackson, Jr.), Rebel Wilson, Serayah and “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, Emily Ratajkowski and Kylie Jenner. That article doesn't confirm Kanye will perform SONGS (his speeches are usually performances themselves) but would be very weird if he doesn't. I bet there will be also some surprises (appearance by Zayn Malik etc)

How long are opening performances normally? Last years was long because it was essentially 3 songs, so would Nicki this year be doing one song or two?
I was thinking this would be the perfect place to promote Robin Thicke's new single featuring her but that is just wishful thinking. Also I wish Feelin myself with beyonce would happen but again that is wishful thinking.

Probably a medley containing material from both
I sort of agree with people saying the line up is weak... Now that I've seen that Fall Out Boy, Big Sean, Miguel, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson and Taylor Swift will be there wonder why none of them wanted to perform.
