In a pre-pandemic world, we probably would have seen Lady Gaga performing songs from 'Chromatica' on various TV shows and live gigs by now.
As it happens, she's set to make her live debut with songs from her latest album at the MTV VMAs later this month - where she is nominated for nine awards. It's her first time performing at the VMAs since 2013.
Gaga is the latest act to be announced for the event, which will see performances take place across various outdoor spaces in New York City on August 30th. The show had been originally scheduled to take place in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but that plan was scrapped.
Other performers announced so far include The Weeknd, Roddy Ricch, CNCO and Maluma, as well as Doja Cat, BTS and J. Balvin.
