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.

Beyoncé-Knowles Carter heard the cry of a young boy asking his mom for the singer in a viral TikTok video and decided to send him a special gift.

Over the last week, a video has been making rounds on social media of a 2-year-old boy named Tyler in the Philippines asking his mother, digital creator Bea Fabregas (@beafabregas on TikTok and Instagram), "Where’s Beyoncé?" while the two ate pizza.

In the TikTok video, Tyler repeatedly asks his mother about the Grammy Award-winning singer's whereabouts before he innocently asks his mom, "Can I visit Beyoncé?" to which Fabregas lets him know she does not know the singer personally.

Eventually Fabregas lets her son know that she isn't actually friends with the superstar and couldn't make that happen. However, it was clear that Tyler was not taking no for answer, declaring that Beyoncé was in fact his friend and he wanted to meet her.

The video of Tyler and his mom garnered millions of views and tons of shares and likes. With the help of the internet, it landed right in front of Beyoncé, who decided to send the young boy her favorite blue flowers and a stuffed animal with a sweet message.

Beyoncé shared her #cecredwashday ritual on Instagram. She wrote:

"It has been such a special experience seeing all of your #cecredwashday rituals all over my timeline… I just had to join in with something I had in the archives 🥰

Being disruptive and challenging everything people feel should be the process has always been exciting to me. My hair and music seemed to do that a lot over the years…

Maintaining 25 years of blonde on natural hair through all the experimenting I do has played a huge part in developing @cecred’s products. It’s the hardest to keep color-treated hair healthy and strong, but @cecred is here. All quality, with NO shortcuts. Congratulations to the entire CÉCRED team for contributing to developing award-winning products. 💕

Happy #cecredwashday!

You are CÉCRED."
