2024 VMAs host and list of performers

The event will be hosted by Megan Thee Stallion, who took the world by storm with hits “Savage Remix” and “Hot Girl Summer,” among other anthems. Her latest album, Megan, was released earlier this summer on June 28, 2024. Megan Thee Stallion is also set to perform, so she is taking on double duty! Opening the event is Eminem, who has eight VMA nominations this year, including Video of the Year and Best Hip-Hop. Eminem is really already a winner as he holds the title of the most wins by a rap artist. He is also the second most nominated artist, second only to Madonna. But there’s a chance he’ll add another trophy tonight. All Eminem needs to do is win ONE of his eight nominations to become the most celebrated male artist in show history.
