Beyonce celebrates Mother's Day
Beyonce celebrated Mother's Day through CÉCRED's Instagram: "To my mama, thank you for passing down traditions and a legacy that allows us to continue to create together. I love you so much."
Beyoncé will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards to mark its 40th anniversary this September.
It’s a huge moment for the show, which hasn’t seen the Cowboy Carter star grace its stage since 2016 when she cleaned up with eight wins and performed a 16-minute Lemonade medley. Even having earned VMA nominations in 2018, 2020, and 2021, the 42-year-old still didn’t grace the show with an appearance and skipped last year’s to tour with Renaissance.
“Beyoncé is a huge get for the VMAs and will be a huge ratings draw," a source said, “She is currently figuring out how her appearance will look and whether it will be one song or a tribute similar to her 2014 closing performance when she received the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award."
The source continued: “As it’s such a big year, the ceremony wants to reclaim some of its prestige so reality TV stars from some of the more lowbrow shows and Tik Tok will have had a harder time gaining entry while artists like Dua Lipa, Muni Long and Billie Eilish will be given priority treatment."
“They are also hoping to book Taylor Swift," they added.
The VMAs will return to New York on September 10 - just four days shy of the 40th anniversary of the inaugural ceremony held at Radio City Music Hall. The VMAs will air in more than 150 countries and territories, reaching a reported 319 million households.
