Beyonce To Perform At MTV Video Music Awards After 8-Year Hiatus

This is the first time since 2016 when the 'Cowboy Carter' hitmaker will grace its stage, reports 'Mirror.co.uk'.

Back in 2016, she won eight trophies, and performed a 16-minute Lemonade medley.

Even having earned VMA nominations in 2018, 2020 and 2021, the 42-year-old still didn't grace the show with an appearance and skipped last year to tour with Renaissance.

"Beyonce is a huge get for the VMAs and will be a huge ratings draw," a source said.

"She is currently figuring out how her appearance will look and whether it will be one song or a tribute similar to her 2014 closing performance when she received the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award."

The source continued: "As it's such a big year, the ceremony wants to reclaim some of its prestige so reality TV stars from some of the more lowbrow shows and TikTok will have had a harder time gaining entry while artists like Dua Lipa, Muni Long and Billie Eilish will be given priority treatment."

"They are also hoping to book Taylor Swift," they added.
