Lisa, Shaboozey, Gunna Added To 2026 VMAs Performer Lineup

MTV has expanded its 2026 Video Music Awards performer roster, adding Lisa, Shaboozey, Gunna, Raye, Gener8ion, Sienna Spiro, and Yung Lean to the bill. The ceremony airs September 26 on CBS and MTV at 7:30 p.m. ET, with streaming available on Paramount+. Lisa will debut her new single “SaWaDiKa,” while Shaboozey performs “Cowgirl” and teams with Gunna for their collaboration “High Noon.” Gener8ion and Yung Lean will world-premiere “Storm II.” Snoop Dogg hosts, and Madonna opens the show — she leads all nominees with 11 nods, including Artist of the Year. “Somehow [the word] video seems cheap. It was good when it was just MTV and me,” Madonna said. Nirvana will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
