DOJA CAT TO HOST 2021 MTV VMAs

Streaming sensation Doja Cat will host the MTV VMAs on 9/12 at Barclays Center. The RCA star is up for five Moonperson trophies, including Video of the Year and Artist of the Year, and is also slated to perform.

Last year, Doja took home the VMA for Best New Artist. Her latest album, Planet Her (Kemosabe/RCA), has yet to leave the Top 5 of the album chart since arriving eight weeks ago.

MTV further announced this week that Shawn Mendes, Chloe (of Chloe x Halle) and Twenty One Pilots will be joining previously announced artists Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, Camila Cabello, Lorde and Machine Gun Kelly as performers on the broadcast. Foo Fighters, who will be presented with the Global Icon Award, are also scheduled to perform.
