The "ICU" singer will treat fans to two exclusive new performances.
Production is scheduled to begin this month.
This will be the first performance on the VMAs’ main telecast for both artists.
The apparent front-runner is Rema & Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down,” which is also nominated for best song and best collaboration.
It’s not surprising that Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ history-making collaboration “Unholy” is up for five awards, but it is surprising that it’s not up for best collaboration.
"We’re used to dealing with artists in their early 20s," says MTV co-founder John Sykes. "But her talent, her experience, her drive, her sex appeal transcended age."
The award was given on the strength of such shows as the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV EMA.
The brash media unit, which once defined music culture with correspondents like Kurt Loder, SuChin Pak, Tabitha Soren and Gideon Yago, is officially no more.
Top nominees for scripted programming are Top Gun: Maverick, Stranger Things and The Last of Us, with six nods each.
The 2023 series will also include the children of Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell, *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, Boyz II Men's Nathan Morris, Van Halen's Sammy Hagar, TLC's Chili & more.
