Launched in May and ending on September 26, the superstar singer/songwriter is currently on her first ever headlining tour, the Hot Girl Summer Tour.
Taylor Swift leads this year’s VMA nominees with 10, followed by Post Malone with nine and Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande with six each.
Musicians set to perform at the show include Lenny Kravitz, Chappell Roan, Halsey, Benson Boone, Camila Cabello, Blackpink’s Lisa and more.
