The award show confirmed the news on Saturday, August 30, thrilling fans worldwide with the announcement of her performance.
“There will be magic in the air at the 2025 #VMAs because @LADYGAGA IS PERFORMING!” the official statement read, hinting at a spectacular show.
The Abracadabra hitmaker will join a star-studded lineup of performers, including Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, and Tate McRae.

Fans quickly flooded social media with excitement following the announcement. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “It’s going to be EPIC because she’s performing live from @thegarden… or they will tape it earlier and show it at the VMAs.” Another fan asked MTV whether there would be opportunities for “super fans” to attend the taping if the performance was pre-recorded due to her ongoing tour schedule.
