Megan Thee Stallion is about to add another impressive title to her already stacked résumé: award show host. The 29-year-old rap sensation will take the reins as the host of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, set to air live from the UBS Arena in New York on Wednesday, September 11, at 8 p.m. ET.
This marks Megan’s first time hosting an awards show, a major milestone in her career. Despite this being her debut in such a role, she’s no stranger to the spotlight or the VMAs stage. In fact, she’s heading into the night with five nominations under her belt, including a nod for Best Collaboration with GloRilla and another for Best Hip-Hop. With two VMAs already on her trophy shelf, Megan is poised for another big night, both as a nominee and as the evening’s leading lady.
For fans who have followed her career, it’s clear that Megan Thee Stallion has always been more than just a rapper. She’s a dynamic performer, a fierce advocate for women’s empowerment, and now, she’s about to show the world that she’s also got what it takes to host one of the most-watched music award shows in the world.
While this may be her first time hosting a major awards show, Megan has had some practice in front of the camera in similar roles. She made waves as both the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live, showcasing her versatility and comedic chops. In addition, she co-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she brought her infectious energy and quick wit to late-night television.
Given her track record, there’s no doubt that Megan will bring her signature blend of humor, charisma, and unapologetic confidence to the VMAs stage. Fans can likely expect some memorable moments, from her opening monologue to any surprise skits or performances that might be in the works. With Megan at the helm, this year’s VMAs are sure to be anything but boring.
