MTV has announced that Lady Gaga will perform at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. She joins a lineup that currently includes Busta Rhymes, J Balvin, Ricky Martin, and Sabrina Carpenter, among others. Mariah Carey will receive the Video Vanguard Award. The 2025 VMAs take place on Sunday, September 7, at UBS Arena, in Elmont, New York.
Lady Gaga previously performed at the VMAs in 2009—where she delivered a star-making rendition of “Paparazzi”—and again in 2020 alongside Ariana Grande. She’s eligible for 12 awards this year, the most of any nominee, including Best Artist as well as Video and Song of the Year for her Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile.”
Since releasing her new album, Mayhem, in March, Lady Gaga has pulled double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live and headlined the first night of Coachella 2025. Her Mayhem Ball Tour of North America and Europe is set to run through December.
