2024 MTV VMAs Performances: Watch Them All

2024 MTV VMAs, watch all the performances from Katy Perry to Eminem, Shawn Mendes, Anitta, Sabrina Carpenter, LL Cool J and many more here.

Speaking of MTV royalty, Slim Shady himself was back in the building to open the show with a throwback nod to one of his most memorable VMA moments when Eminem took the stage in a blonde wig alongside a parade of Marshall Mathers lookalikes for a run through “Houdini” and his Jelly Roll collab, “Somebody Save Me.” The first half of the show also included BLACKPINK’s LISA making her VMA solo debut for a high-energy run through her new Rosalía collab “New Woman,” followed by her solo single “Rockstar” while Shawn Mendes debuted his new Jeff Buckley-esque moody ballad “Nobody Knows.” Colombian superstar Karol G delivered a sultry performance of her hit single “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” (“If I Had Known You Before”) and Brazilian star Anitta turned the stage into a sizzling party with the premiere of “Paradise” featuring Fat Joe and DJ Khaled, and later “Savage Funk” and “Alegría” featuring Tiago PZK. The night came to a hyped close with a career-spanning medley from LL Cool J, who saluted Def Jam Records on its 40th anniversary with help from DJ Z-Trip and Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Flavor Flav as he ran through “Headsprung,” PE’s “Bring the Noise,” as well as his own “Mama Said Knock You Out,” “Rock the Bells,” “Around the Way Girl” and “Goin’ Back to Cali,” as well as his new singles “Passion” and “Proclivities” before bumping down to “Doin’ It,” a song he first performed on his last VMAs set in 1996.
