Normani Is Bringing Her 'Wild Side' To 2021 MTV VMAs After All

After going public with how she wasn’t invited to perform at the 2021 MTV VMAs, Normani is hitting the stage after all.

On Thursday (September 9), the network announced that the pop star will indeed take the stage to perform. The set will follow her buzzworthy 2019 performance of "Motivation," which featured the star offering a memorable dance break. She also hit the stage in 2014 and 2017 as part of Fifth Harmony.

She previously opened up about not being booked for the show. "I'm honestly disappointed about it. This last week, I’ve just been in my head. But also I know that everything happens for a reason. With or without, I’m good,” she said during a radio interview. "Obviously, I’m a human being, I feel things. I love to feel noticed and for my work to be validated, but it speaks for itself. It’s forcing me to validate myself. I’m talented. It has nothing to do with me. It’s just a decision that somebody else made, which was out of my control."

Normani joins a star-studded roster of performers, including Justin Bieber, Travis Barker, Camila Cabello, Chlöe, Doja Cat, Jack Harlow, The Kid Laroi, Lil Nas X, Swae Lee, Machine Gun Kelly, Alicia Keys, Shawn Mendes, Kacey Musgraves, Ozuna, Olivia Rodrigo, Tainy and Twenty One Pilots.

Doja Cat will host the ceremony live from Brooklyn's Barclay’s Center on Sunday at 8 PM ET.
