Watch: 2014 MTV Video Music Awards - The Performances
It's that time of year again for the MTV Video Music Awards. This year's show is being held for the first time ever at The Forum in Inglewood, a venue that recently went through a $100 million makeover. Those who have been tuned in on MTV's website were able to catch the pre-show, which featured performances by Charli XCX and Fifth Harmony. The main show goes live on MTV starting at 9PM EST.
No lack of talent or A-list names in the building tonight but only a select few will have the opportunity to touch the stage. Artists listed to perform include names like Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Usher, Sam Smith, 5 Seconds of Summer, Jessie J, and Rita Ora. DJ Mustard, the producer behind recent hit singles like Kid Ink's 'Main Chick' and Jeremih's 'Don't Tell Em', will be playing the role of House DJ.
Along with performing on stage, Beyonce and Iggy Azalea lead the VMAs with eight nominations. Eminem, who is not scheduled to perform, follows with seven nominations.
