The 2018 MTV Video Music Awards has begun and it’s starting with a bang!

Most of the major nominees are taking the stage, including Ariana Grande, who will perform her latest single “God Is a Woman.” Logic and Travis Scott are also hitting the stage. In fact, Travis is making his first solo VMA performance with songs from his newly released album Astroworld.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj will be performing too, but not from Radio City Music Hall. The Queen rapper will perform on the VMAs for the seventh time, but from a surprise New York location.

The night’s most anticipated performance might just be Jennifer Lopez, though — who is receiving MTV’s biggest honor, the “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.”

Of course it’s never to late to get up with what you’ve missed when you stick with KarenCivil.com.
