Sheâs only the second artist to make that jump, following Nicki Minaj, who performed on the pre-show in 2010, co-hosted the main show in 2022, and then hosted solo a year later.
Among the performers this year are Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro, while Benson Boone, Blackpink’s Lisa, Halsey and Lenny Kravitz have also been announced over the past couple of days.
This will be the first time Megan â real name Megan Pete â hosts an awards show. However, sheâs previously hosted Saturday Night Live and co-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

This will be the fourth year in a row that one or more rappers have hosted the show. It was Minaj last year, while she hosted alongside Jack Harlow and LL Cool J in 2022. In 2021, Doja Cat was host.
Meanwhile, Megan is also nominated for five awards this year. Sheâs up for Best Collaboration alongside GloRilla with âWanna Beâ and Best Hip Hop for âBoaâ, as well as three technical awards: Best Direction, Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects â also for âBoaâ.
Sheâs won two VMAs in the past, too. âHot Girl Summerâ won Best Power Anthem in 2019, while âSavageâ won Best Hip Hop in 2020.
The rapper released her third studio album, âMeganâ, in June. In a four-star review, NME described it as a âconfident, cohesive third album that colourfully showcases all aspects of the rapperâs identity and personality,â and added: âAll of these facets of Megan Thee Stallion have been on display throughout her career, from freestyles to mixtapes to studio albums. But theyâve not sounded this cohesive together till now (yes, even âWorthyâ, with its self-empowerment mantra of a chorus and peppy pop-guitar beat). When the sizzling guitar solo rings out on âCobraâ, it escorts us out of the album â and heralds a fearless new era for Megan Thee Stallion.â
She also performed at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris last month, as the Democratic candidate for president continues on the election trail ahead of Americans heading to the polls on November 5. âWanna Beâ, meanwhile, appeared on former President Barack Obamaâs annual summer playlist this year.
