Inside the 2025 MTV VMAs: What’s in Store this Year

Published

on

The MTV Video Music Awards have never been just another awards show. For more than 40 years, they’ve delivered the kind of moments people still talk about. In 2025, the VMAs return with the same spirit, but a fresh energy for a new era. This year’s show will be broadcast live from New York’s UBS Arena on September 7, LL COOL J will host the 2025 MTV VMAs. And while the red carpet will provide plenty of fashion headlines, the focus is on what’s happening inside

Honoring Icons

The VMAs this year will feature three big tributes. Mariah Carey will receive the Video Vanguard Award, celebrating her lasting influence on music videos. Busta Rhymes will be given the Rock the Bells Visionary Award, honoring his impact on hip-hop culture and visuals. While Ricky Martin is set to receive the inaugural Latin Icon Award, Showing how far Latin music has come worldwide. These honors show how the VMAs are widening their lens, and celebrating influence across genres and generations. This year’s performers capture what the VMAs are all about, bringing together both music icons and rising stars.

Lady Gaga, the night’s top nominee with 12 nominations, will return for her first VMA performance since 2020. Her collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile”, has dominated the year, and fans are expecting her to deliver big on Sunday Night. Fans are equally looking forward to a performance from Mariah Carey. Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Post Malone, J Balvin with DJ Snake, Conan Gray, Alex Warren, and Jelly Roll are also set to perform making it one of the most diverse lineups MTV has staged in years.

For the first time, the Extended Play Stage will be part of the main show, featuring Bailey Zimmerman with The Kid LAROI, Lola Young, and Megan Morone. The pre-show keeps the energy high with KATSEYE performing their viral singles “Gnarly” and “Gabriela.”

The music is covered by the performers, but it’s the presenters who will bring the fun commentary and surprises. Stars like Ciara, Ice Spice, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, Latto, and the Simpson sisters (Jessica and Ashlee) are all set to appear. Even fictional characters have their place this year — the voices behind HUNTR/X, the fictional K-pop girl group from KPop Demon Hunters, will make a special appearance.

The Stakes of 2025

With Lady Gaga leading with 12 nominations, Bruno Mars close behind with 11, and Kendrick Lamar with 10, competition at this year’s VMAs is tough. Sabrina Carpenter, ROSÉ, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Tate McRae will all be hoping to end the night with a win.

Conclusion

But aside from the competition, MTV is calling this year’s show “Music’s Most Iconic Night.” but it makes sense. Even with how much music has changed, the VMAs are still one of the few shows where fans, artists, and pop culture all come together live.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s Father’s Day post for husband Travis Barker drew attention online, not for what it included, but for who was left out.

The reality star celebrated the holiday with a series of Instagram photos of Barker and their son, Rocky, captioning the carousel “baby daddy .” The tribute focused squarely on her husband and their current family life, prompting fans to question the absence of Scott Disick, father to her three older children.

According to People, those close to the family says the omission wasn’t intended as a slight.

“Kourtney did not mean to disrespect Scott with her Father’s Day post,” a source told People. “Kourt and Travis are such a strong family unit now, it just felt right to pay tribute to Travis.”

Kourtney and Disick share Mason, Penelope, and Reign, and have spent years co-parenting since they separated. Despite not being mentioned, Disick reportedly took no offense. The source added that he respects Kourtney and Travis’ relationship and values the stable environment they’ve built for their blended family. The children have also grown close to Rocky, born in November 2023.

The approach marks a shift from last year. For Father’s Day 2025, Kourtney’s message acknowledged the full blended family, including Barker’s son Landon, daughter Alabama, and stepdaughter Atiana.

Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Her Cosmetic Enhancements and Injectables

After nearly two decades in the spotlight, Khloé Kardashian is embracing a more open approach to conversations about cosmetic procedures.

The Kardashians star addressed her cosmetic procedures in a People interview published June 18, explaining why she decided to list them publicly last year. The choice came after years of speculation and online commentary about her appearance.

“This gentleman was dictating all these things that I did,” said Khloé, 41, referencing social media claims. “If I did, I would totally say that. I don’t have a problem with it.”

But setting the record straight mattered. “I also want people to know, not that anyone thinks this is all natural, but it’s not,” she added. “There is maintenance involved. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 21. Age has something to do with it, weight loss for sure. But yes, I’ve had enhancements. I’ve had my nose done. I love any sort of laser or injectable.”

Khloé, mom to daughter True and son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson, said she’s currently focused on non-invasive treatments. While she isn’t ruling out a facelift in the future, like mom Kris Jenner, she prefers lasers and injectables for now. “Before I need to get my face surgically done, I’m going to do all the lasers and injectables or whatever that I can,” she said.

She previously confirmed receiving Botox, Sculptra injections, Sofwave laser treatments, a nose job, and collagen threads under her chin and neck. She also shares beauty tips with sister Kim Kardashian, swapping recommendations on new treatments. “We’ll go down these rabbit holes,” Khloé said. “I’ll see a stretch mark laser commercial and send it to her. We’re like, ‘We need that.’”

Still, Khloé told People that her sense of beauty comes from time at home. “It sounds so corny, but I do feel most beautiful with my kids,” she said. “Hearing little giggles, having silly dance parties, just rolling on the floor. That’s what I’ve learned is the most beautiful to me.”

Khloé joins a growing list of celebrities who’ve spoken openly about their cosmetic work, including Julia Fox, Ariana Grande, Martha Stewart, and Selena Gomez.

The Oscar-winning actress shared the news on Instagram on June 19, following recent sightings of her baby bump while vacationing in Saint-Tropez. Anne Hathaway is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The actor confirmed the pregnancy on Instagram on Friday, June 19, through a short video set to “Baby I’m Yours” by Barbara Lewis. In the clip, she walks into frame wearing a flowing white linen two-piece from Nothing Fits But, its smocked waistline sitting against a visibly pregnant belly . She cradles her bump, smiles at the camera, and then playfully steps out of frame. The caption reads, “x Baby, I’m yours x.”

The announcement followed weeks of speculation after Hathaway was photographed on vacation in Saint-Tropez, her stomach visible beneath a series of breezy maxi dresses and cover-ups. She was also photographed in a bikini and later in one of her signature wetsuits, with her growing baby bump clearly visible.

Hathaway and Shulman, who married in 2012, already share two sons: Jonathan and Jack, both of whom the couple have raised largely away from public attention.

This is not the first time Hathaway has used an Instagram announcement to speak honestly about the road to pregnancy. In 2019, confirming her second, she wrote: “It’s not for a movie… #2,” before adding: “All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.”

The announcement comes as Hathaway continues an active period in her career, with several notable roles lined up. She recently reprised her role as Andy Sachs in the long-awaited sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” and starred in A24’s “Mother Mary,” a musical psychodrama in which she plays a pop star unraveling at the height of her fame.

Looking ahead, Hathaway will star as Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” as well as in the dystopian thriller The End of Oak Street and the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity.
