VMAs: Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan to Perform as MTV Reschedules Show to Avoid Presidential Debate Conflict


MTV is pushing the VMAs back by one day to avoid a presidential debate conflict. Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan are among the first performers announced.

The two hottest young singers of the moment, Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, are among the first round of performers to be announced for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. Carpenter and Roan will be joined as performers by GloRilla, Camila Cabello and Rauw Alejandro, the network announced Monday — just the start of a lineup of artists due to roll out in the month to go before showtime. MTV did not outrightly cite the competing debate in its announcement about the show being bumped, but the network made it unofficially clear that it has a history of encouraging civic engagement and did not want to stand in the way of viewers becoming educated about what’s at stake in a presidential election.
