Drake with Lil Wayne

It's all a blur tour – big as the what.

‘Big as the What?’: Drake Recruits J. Cole for 2024 It’s All a Blur Tour

By Larisha Paul

Larisha Paul

Drake and J. Cole are keeping their collaborative hot streak going into the new year. Beginning in January, the two rappers will split the bill on the 2024 It’s All a Blur – Big as the What? tour. Drake is currently scheduled for 32 shows together, including several two-night stands in many cities, with J. Cole performing at most of them.

The tour will begin on Jan. 18 with back-to-back nights at Denver’s Ball Arena. Drake and J. Cole will make additional stops in San Antonio, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Tampa, Nashville, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, Lexington, and more. J. Cole will not perform at the final four shows of the tour, scheduled in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Alabama.

The newly announced dates mark an extension of the 50-date It’s All a Blur tour Drake completed this summer with 21 Savage. During the Montreal stop in July, J. Cole joined Drake on stage in place of 21 Savage. And before the run of shows kicked off earlier this year, Drake served as a special guest at the 2023 iteration of J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival in April.

Drake, full name Aubrey Drake Graham, is a Canadian rapper and actor from Toronto, Ontario. Born in 1986, Drake first rose to fame as an actor but was signed to Young Money Entertainment in 2009.

At the age of 20, Drake self-released his first mix-tape, “Room For Improvement”, which featured artists such as Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz on the tracks. The quality of the work on this first mix tape won Drake a steady following on the underground rap scene which he grew with the release of his second and third mix tapes, “Comeback Season” and “So Far Gone”. The release of “So Far Gone” saw fans download the mix tape over 2000 times in the first two hours of its release. Two tracks from the album, “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful” hit the number one and number two positions on the US Rap charts, respectively.

This success sparked a bidding war amongst various record labels to get Drake onto their rosters. Young Money Entertainment, owned by Drake’s mentor Lil Wayne, came out successful and signed the rapper in 2009. Drake’s studio albums, including “Thank Me Later”, “Take Care” and “Nothing Was the Same”, have reached the number one spot on the US Billboard chart and each has been certified Platinum.

Drake has had multiple multi-platinum selling singles, but his most successful singles include “Hold On We’re Going Home”, "Headlines", "Take Care", "Make Me Proud", and "The Motto" (where Drake was credited with popularising the acronym YOLO).

Already the winner of one Grammy Award for his 2013 album, “Take Care”, Drake has also won a host of other awards from bodies such as the BET Awards, the MTV VMAs and the Juno Awards. Drake has won millions of fans across the world as a result of the six tours he has completed since 2010. With his work ethic and talent, there is no doubt that Drake’s hard-earned success will continue for quite some time.

Live reviews

Drake's energy on the stage is just incomparable to anybody I've seen. The way he connects with the crowd is unbelievable. I think that his energy on stage just get the crowd more hyped up so it's an all around good show whenever Drake performs. From "So Far Gone" to "Nothing Was The Same," his style and the way he gets his message across have stayed the same. That's the best thing about aging, you get better as time progresses and I think that his albums are a definite reminder of how lyrically and musically talented he is. Many artist make one or two good albums, maybe a song or two every now and then, but Drake has consistently been at the top releasing good music and is just on fire. It's easier to get to the top than to stay there, but he's proving to everyone that he has enough to get to the top and knock anyone down who try's to take him down.

I love how he makes his music to fit any type of mood that you're feeling. His music isn't just slow R&B, he has some up-tempo music that will get you feeling pumped up and ready to go. I also love how he isn't like a Lil Wayne type of rapper who just uses auto tune and throws random gun verses in his songs. Every song is well thought out, every line is placed just right, the words flow with the beat and it's just magic. Even if you don't like Drake, when "Hold on, We're Going Home" comes on you're going to start singing. His songs are just too catchy, and are just classic, so 30 years from now people will still be blasting "Take Care" in their car. From what I've watched, he gives the people their moneys worth and leaves them waiting to see Drakes next move or when he's dropping his next album. He's just an all around great artist and performer, strongly recommend seeing him.

Report as inappropriate

I have never been a huge fan of Drake, but after becoming hooked on the 2013 song ‘Hold on we’re going home’, I decided to check out his back catalogue of work, and was really surprised with what I found, and immediately regretted discounting him previously.

The combination of chilled out tracks in contrast with his rapping and songs like ‘Headlines’ provides such great listening variation, covering a variety of musical genres. Drake’s recent performance at this years Grammys was simply breath-taking, drawing in the audience to the narrative of ‘Hold on we’re going home’ without being showy or over the top, yet managing to merge smoothly into the track ‘Started from the Bottom’, providing the audience with a more upbeat track.

Drake’s interaction with his audience, especially on this occasion is something which he deserves credit for, maintaining his vocal performance whilst attempting to greet as many fans as possible. For me, this injection of his personality really provides the fans with a motivation to watch him live, as the dedication to both performance and fans is something that he appears to have mastered.

He really is one of those artists that you have to see live to experience the full potential of his music.

I bought my tickets to Lil Wayne VS. Drake about 4 months ago and finally got to attend the show on Saturday. Wow. My mind was blown. First of all G-Easy Opened for them and really got the crowd warmed up for the headliners. The whole show was like a video game with Drake and Lil Wayne going back and forth with old and new hits which I was so impressed with how they really mixed it up. Drake flew above the crowd suspended holding on to a stripper pole looking stand which Lil Wayne later dogged on him for. They battled back and forth about being the most featured artist and at the end I had chills because they were both saying how grateful they were for keeping each other's music alive. It was inspiring and poetic. I was impressed it was definitely the best show I have been to this year!

Drake puts on a great show, honestly a great performer who is very talented.

However, if you’re really going to tour with migos, and they don’t show up to do their opening set, there really should be some kind of refund. I came to the show expecting to see migos and then drake and then when migos didn’t show up I went into Drakes set disappointed about missing migos. Sure two of them came out and did 2 songs but really not enough. Instead of touring with these unreliable guys, tour by yourself, I would have no problem paying exactly what I paid for just Drake.

My son is Drake biggest fan and I would love to buy him tickets to Drake concert! I would love to see him shake Drake hand. He watch all of Drake documentary, interviews and reads all of his commentaries. This playlist is all Drake and the artist he signed. He even make me sit down and watch Drake life stories. He has all of his family, friends and girlfriend listening to Drake! He ware Drake clothing line “OVO” and has his family and friends wearing OVO too! Drake to your biggest fan ever Keldrick Mumphrey he a great young man and a wonderful son! Love mom

Tickets were very expensive. This was one of the most I have ever paid for a concert ticket, need to make it affordable for his fans. His stage presence was brilliant and loved how much he relates himself to the UK and a personal bond with Birmingham. He did lots of his lesser successful songs which was disappointing, songs like crew love which lots of his fans LOVE came on for 10 seconds then he switched into another one. Just felt it lacked real good performances of his better known and his best songs.

I really liked the show! Drake was an amazing entertainer and made me feel seen and made the show worthwhile. He really suprised me in a positive way:) I loved the sequals were he talked between the songs and the drirecting of scenery was incredible. Some of the most impressive stuff I have ever seen on a stage. He was a good singer, and I liked his tribute to Rihanna. Thanks Drake, for an awesome experience. You are way coolet than I thought

One of the best concerts I've been to in a while... Then opening act: party next door wasn't very well known But when the main acts got on stage the party was really bumpin. Great set list. I can say that I was standing and dancing the whole night and rapping along. They had an interactive portion to help decide who won the rap battle between Drake and Lil Wayne through a downloaded app on your phone. Overall awesome experience!

Amazing preformance! He's very enganging and interactive with the crowed, not to mention insanely talented! There was a really cool moving light show (globes of lights that were lowered and raised to create patterns above the audiance as well as change colors). Would have loved to hear more from some of his first albums but all in all a fantastic show. Definatly was worth spending the extra money for floor seats :)

The Drake vs Lil wayne show was definantly a must see! The whole competitive feel of them trying to one up eachother really drove the energy up! Drake is amazing live but honestly Lil Wayne stole the show for me. Also the production value is through the roof! It's less of a concert and more of an experience! They played all of their hits as well as their old stuff! Definantly get a seat to this one!

Drake Kicks Off 2024 Tour with Marching Band, Slime and J. Cole

• Live Debuts
• On Tour Now
• Last updated: 6 Feb 2024, 17:11:28
• Published: 6 Feb 2024, 17:11:28

Drake's It’s All A Blur Tour: Big As The What? kicked off last week with a marching band, pyro from the roof, and a giant bucket of slime for a (un)lucky fan.

Joining forces with old pal J. Cole, Drake began his 22-date US tour at the Amalie Arena (February 2) in Tampa, which the rapper kept calling Tampa Bay.

The It’s All A Blur Tour: Big As The What? should not be confused with last year's drama-tinged It's All A Blur Tour that saw the 6 God perform 50 shows with 21 Savage.

This is different. Slightly.

First of all Drake is playing a ton of songs - 40 at the Tampa gig - including a bunch from his new album For All The Dogs .

Friday, he live-debuted seven of his new jams: "Daylight," "Gently," "IDGAF," "Rich Baby Daddy," "Slime You Out," "Virginia Beach," and "You Broke My Heart."

This show really isn't about me. It really isn't about Cole," Drake said casually walking around the large center stage in the middle of the basketball arena while wearing what looked like a Nerf skeleton of a dinosaur on his back while carrying a gigantic bra that was thrown at him.

"This show is about each and every one of y'all."

For fans that didn't catch last year's shows, here's a bit of advice: don't get anxious if you can't nab floor seats.

Drake has a technically advanced stage capable of showing video on top of it that cannot be seen from the pit.

The edges of the stage occasionally flashes lyrics, but the top of the stage has graphics, video clips, and trippy designs all its own. And best of all it doesn't favor one side over another. No matter where you're sitting you can see the video, as seen here on "Daylight."

"Daylight" segued into two collabs Drake did with Travis Scott: "Meltdown" and "Sicko Mode."

How will you know you've reached that portion of the evening? You'll see an enormous decapitated head of Aire and Stormi's daddy floating slowly above the Champagne Papi.

And then there's the marching band.

Marching bands are nothing new. Fleetwood Mac rocked with the USC Marching Trojans back in '79 when they played "Tusk." Kanye and Jamie Foxx brought it to the 2006 Grammys , and Beyonce perfected it in Beychella in 2018.

But that doesn't diminish the awesomeness of it and one could do far worse than hiring Jackson State University's Sonic Boom of the South.

At the end of the show Drake brings back your favorite gimmick from Nickelodeon - the Slime during the new tune "Slime You Out." At the first gig in Tampa the bucket pretty much missed the fan seated in the folding chair surrounded by dancers. The aim was much better for the second show on Sunday.

Another nice touch to this new tour is many of the cities will be getting back-to-back shows.

So starting tomorrow night, Nashville will see Drizzy and J Cole play the Bridgestone Arena two nights in a row. That'll happen in St. Louis, Pittsburgh and most of the other cities on the schedule.

Drake and J. Cole are hitting the road for a joint tour in 2024.

Drizzy took to social media to announce the It’s All A Blur—Big As The What? Tour, which will run through North America next year. According to   Drake Related , the tour will be a 22-date trek presented by Cash App and Visa with production from Live Nation. Of the 22 dates, 18 of the shows will feature an appearance from Cole. 

The pair will kick off the tour on Thursday (Jan. 18) at the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, with two back-to-back shows. The “Jodeci” duo will then hit major cities across the States, including New Orleans, Memphis, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, NY, and more.

Big Sean Says Kanye West Thought He Favored Drake Over Him On "Blessings" Collab

“If that other song would’ve gone No. 1, ni**a, I’m still grateful I’m a part of it,” he continued. “I wasn’t at home like, ‘Come on y’all! Pick up the streams, man! We gotta beat this motherf**kin’ Yeat! Come on!’ […] What got ‘First Person Shooter’ to No. 1 was me and [Drake’s] fans still buy iTunes singles […] the digital actual sales of the song. I don’t know who’s still buying them bi**hes but, you know, appreciate y’all.”

Regardless of his feelings, fans are sure to see Drizzy and Cole perform the hit song during their new tour.

Drake and J. Cole Tour 2024: How to Buy Tickets and Upcoming Tour Dates

Branson Knowles

Updated: 

Two of the heaviest hitters in rap, Drake and J. Cole, have just announced a co-headlining tour dubbed the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?! . They’re starting their tour in Denver, Colorado at the Ball Arena in January before wrapping up in Birmingham, Alabama at the Legacy Arena in late March.

Drake and J. Cole are both legendary performers in their own right and fans will be blessed with the opportunity to see them share the stage this upcoming January. Drake’s It’s All A Blur Tour has already seen massive success, selling out stadiums and arenas across the country.

J. Cole isn’t the first major act to join Drizzy on the big stage, as Drake has been bringing heat through his guests throughout the entire tour. The four-time Grammy award winner brought out the hottest new act from the United Kingdom in Central Cee, a staple of the rap game in Lil Yachty, and Atlanta’s very own Slaughter Gang CEO 21 Savage. 

If you’re looking to see Drake and J. Cole live, tickets are available now through StubHub where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Drake has more awards than we can mention. He’s dipping into his huge catalog of record-breaking songs for the 2023-2024 tour, playing his slower hits like “Take a Shot For Me”, “Look What You’ve Done”, and sad boy anthem “Marvin’s Room”.

If you’re a fan of Drake’s faster-paced music, don’t worry. The “Certified Lover Boy” is bringing his bangers on the road too, as fans can expect to hear smash hits “Sticky”, “Search and Rescue”, and of course, “Rich Flex”. 

To get official tickets to Drake and J. Cole’s latest tour, head to StubHub or click here . It should go without saying, but these two monsters of the music industry are guaranteed to sell out, so buy your tickets now, “Take Care”, and “Thank Me Later”!

MTV VMAs 2024 live updates: Megan Thee Stallion hosts the iconic music event

Everything to know about the 2024 vmas:.

• Megan Thee Stallion is hosting the MTV Video Music Awards show, which takes place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
• With 12 nominations, Taylor Swift is up for the most awards tonight. Post Malone follows with nine nominations. Ariana Grande, Eminem and Sabrina Carpenter have six apiece.
• Katy Perry is set to receive MTV’s Video Vanguard Award and will perform a career-spanning medley live. Other performers this year include Carpenter , Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan , GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro.
• The VMAs have a history of memorable and provocative red carpet looks. Follow along for some of this year's stand-out outfits.

LISA rocks out on the VMA stage

Daysia Tolentino

With pyrotechnics and leather outfits, LISA put on a rockin' show for her performance on the VMAs stage.

She started her performance with her latest single "New Woman," although Rosalia, her collaborator on the song, was absent.

She then transitioned into "Rockstar," which is nominated in the best K-Pop category.

Megan Thee Stallion pays homage to Britney Spears' 'I'm a Slave 4U'

Rebecca Cohen

With a large yellow snake wrapped around her body, Megan Thee Stallion gave a nod to Britney Spears' iconic "I'm a Slave 4 U" VMAs performance by wearing the same green and blue two piece while performing her hosting duties.

"I don’t know this snake, this snake don’t know me," she said. She then screamed as someone tried to remove the snake from her body.

Chappell Roan’s success marks the rise of the ‘middle class’ pop star

Chappell Roan is no longer just “your favorite artist’s favorite artist.”

Roan, who is known for the queer themes in her music and her drag-inspired aesthetic, is among the recent crop of artists who have hit unforeseen career highs in recent months, despite being considered part of pop music’s “middle class.”

This designation has typically been associated with artists who have cultivated devout  online fan bases , but who are not necessarily household names.

A-list pop stardom has become increasingly difficult to achieve. But some music industry experts say the recent rise of Roan and others — including Sabrina Carpenter, Tinashe and Charli XCX — is a testament to their authenticity and ability to foster such strong fandoms.

Taylor Swift honors 9/11 victims

Angela Yang

Taylor Swift just took home her second Moon Person of the night with a win for best collaboration for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone. She opened her acceptance speech with an acknowledgement of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks given the event's location in New York.

Speaking about her music video, Swift described her collaborator Post Malone as “everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with.”

“And it is because you are so ridiculously talented, you are so versatile and you’re the most down to earth person,” Swift said. “Honestly, so unfailingly polite, it has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me ‘ma’am.’”

Flavor Flav gifts Jordan Chiles a replacement medal

Kaetlyn Liddy Kaetlyn Liddy is a newsroom coordinator for NBC News Digital.

After being stripped of her Olympic bronze medal shortly after leaving Paris, Flavor Flav followed through on his promise to award Jordan Chiles a custom-made replacement.

"I gotcha something that they can't take away from you," Flavor Flav told the two-time Olympian on the VMAs stage. He bestowed her with a bronze clock necklace and tied it on her neck himself.

Megan Thee Stallion opens the show with a nod to the Paris Games

The host opened the show with a message to everyone watching.

“Shout out to my hotties, and my haties ‘cause I know y’all watching too,” she said.

She donned a Team USA-inspired leotard while greeting viewers. She then passed the mic to Jordan Chiles and Flavor Flav.

Flav gave Chiles a bronze clock and promised to gift her the prize money she lost after her bronze medal was stripped from her after last month's Paris Olympic Games.

Best collaboration

Taylor Swift wins the best collaboration VMA for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone.

Eminem brings his mob of Slim Shadys to open the VMAs

Opening the show with his song "Houdini," off of his latest album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)," the rapper brought a gang of his alter egos to support him on stage. He also brought a doppelgänger who looked strikingly similar to his younger self.

Jelly Roll also made a virtual appearance to perform with Eminem on their collaboration "Somebody Save Me."

Lenny Kravitz dedicates best rock win to late mother

The VMA for best rock video went to Lenny Kravitz for “Human” from his 2024 album, “Blue Electric Light.”

He dedicated the award to his late mother, who died in 1995.

"31 years ago, my mother was with me," he said after his win. "The last time she was with me at an award show was at the VMAs and so I dedicate this to her.”

Kravitz will perform at tonight's ceremony for the first time since 1998.

Taylor Swift is on the carpet

Doha Madani

The highly anticipated arrival of Taylor Swift is finally here as the singer poses for the cameras ahead of tonight's show. She won a VMA for song of summer before even setting foot on the carpet.

Swift is known for using her award show outfits as a way to clue in fans about her upcoming projects. Last year, Swift's black and white dress at the Grammys hinted at her announcement of the album "The Tortured Poets Department" later during the show. That came after she announced her album "Midnights" at the 2022 VMAs, wearing a silver-draped dress that hinted at a new "Bejewled" era for the singer.

So with fans eager for her to drop "reputation (Taylor's Version)," is her outfit signaling any easter eggs for news to come?

'Fortnight' nabs song of summer

Taylor Swift has officially won her first award of the night.

Her single "Fortnight" from "The Tortured Poets Department" won song of the summer, which was announced on the VMAs red carpet before the awards show even kicked off.

If she takes home at least six more of the 12 awards she's nominated for tonight, she will match Beyoncé's record for most VMA wins.

Megan Thee Stallion wins best trending video

Megan Thee Stallion was caught off guard by the news of her own win as pre-show host Kevan Kenney abruptly handed her a Moon Person. The rapper, who is also hosting the VMAs this year, clinched the best trending video award for “Mamushi” featuring Yuki Chiba.

“Me and Yuki recorded that song in Japan in like, a small apartment studio, and we were just messing around,” Megan said, adding that she was "shocked" by fans' embrace of the song.

The singer is up for six more categories tonight.

Taylor Swift's presidential endorsement hangs in the air

Isabela Espadas Barros Leal

The self-proclaimed "Childless Cat Lady" endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris after Tuesday night's debate, inspiring some 330,000 new voter registrations in the process. It's unclear if the pop star will continue speaking out about politics in the weeks before the election.

Expect a tribute to 9/11

This year’s show had originally been scheduled for Sept. 10 but was moved to Sept. 11 because the broadcast would clash with Tuesday’s presidential debate. 

The show’s producers plan to recognize the 9/11 attacks by donating proceeds from the show to 9/11 Day, a nonprofit that organizes community service programs on the anniversary of the attacks, and Tuesday’s Children, which helps support impacted families. 

Taylor Swift has a chance to break Beyoncé's record

Pop sensation Taylor Swift is the most nominated artist of the night, with the potential to make history by breaking fellow nominee Beyoncé's record.

Swift is up for a total of 12 awards, including video of the year, artist of the year and song of the year. Currently, Swift has a total of 23 VMAs throughout her career and is seven awards shy of matching Beyoncé's record of 30.

But Beyoncé is also nominated for several VMAs tonight following the success of her country album "Cowboy Carter" — which was notably snubbed from the Country Music Association Awards earlier this week. The album's hit song, "Texas Hold 'Em," is up against Swift's "Fortnight" for song of the year.

Naomi Scott attends her first VMAs

British actress and singer Naomi Scott, who plays pop star Skye Riley in the upcoming film “Smile 2,” said her character drew inspiration from some of the pop stars here tonight.

As for the movie itself, slated to release in theaters Oct. 18, the first-time VMA attendee teased it as being “kind of like the first movie, but on steroids and a lot of party drugs.

“It’s very intense, but it’s so fun and so unhinged and also kind of funny,” Scott said. “My director brought me in to watch some of the edit, and I remember just being like, I wish I was here with my best friend, because we would just be grabbing each other laughing and screaming.”

'Dreams don’t have deadlines:' LL Cool J on his first album in a decade

After a 10-year break from releasing music, LL Cool J dropped his 14th studio album, "The Force," on Friday.

"I wanted to show the people that I came up with that your dreams don't have deadlines," he said on the MTV pre-show. "You could continue to do this thing at a high level. You don't have to be successful at one age and then all of a sudden taper off and wallow around in mediocrity."

He is set to perform in tonight’s ceremony, but the legendary artist's relationship with the VMAs started 27 years ago. LL Cool J became the first rap artist to win the Video Vanguard Award in 1997, which he noted as his favorite VMAs moment.

"I am a kid raised on hip hop ... So that was an unbelievable moment," he said of the honor.

Jordan Chiles makes VMAs debut after bronze medal debacle

Two-time Olympic champion Jordan Chiles made her first public appearances on Wednesday since she was stripped of her bronze medal from the Paris Olympic Games.

"This is a dream come true to be able to come to the VMAs," Chiles said. "Meeting people, especially celebrities out here." Despite the big names in the room, Chiles said her Olympic resume has prepared her for this moment.

Competing is "harder than doing an interview," she joked.

Hours before the VMAs ceremony, Chiles spoke at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit in New York City, where she said the controversy was more about "peace" and "justice" for her than the medal itself.

"The biggest thing that was taken from me was the recognition of who I was, not just my sport, but the person I am ... the star is never going to get dimmed." she said.

Best trending video

Katy Perry arrives at the VMAs ahead of her Vanguard award

Katy Perry is serving a wet look on the carpet. She will be performing a medley of her biggest hits later tonight in celebration of her Video Vanguard award, which celebrates an artists' career and impact on pop culture.

Addison Rae gives showgirl chic

The TikToker-turned-pop star arrived on the carpet wearing a white feathery bikini set with a tulle bustle.

She said the look was partly inspired by Madonna, who wore a wedding dress in her performance of "Like A Virgin" during the 1984 VMAs.

The "Diet Pepsi" singer is a presenter at tonight's awards.

Chappell Roan is thinking about her ex tonight

Chappell, who is nominated for best new artist alongside three other categories, said it would be “awesome” if she won — noting that she’s “never won anything.” If she does cinch the category, she said, she wants to give a shoutout to her ex: “You got me here.”

Chappell said she’s a bit nervous about performing in front of her peers tonight, many of whom she said she looks up to. The pop star teased in a red-carpet interview with MTV that her performance will include “a lot of technical things going on that I’ve never had happen.”

She also shared a few details about the medieval look she donned on the carpet.

“That robe that I had on ... was 300 years old. And then the rug that was rolled out is 600 years old," she said.

Most iconic performance

Katy Perry wins the most iconic performance VMA for “Roar.”

Best alternative

The winner for best alternative is Benson Boone for his song “Beautiful Things,” awarded during the pre-show livestream on YouTube.

Boone thanked the fans for all their support and their votes as he accepted the Moon Man statue in an interview on the carpet.

“You know what? This has been the craziest year of my life so far,” Boone said. “I’m truly honored to be in this crowd of people... it’s been pretty insane for me.”

When asked about his performance to come later tonight, Boone just said, “lot of sparkles, lots of flips.”

Halsey put the red in red carpet tonight (although the VMAs carpet is technically black), with long, bright red locks and a gown to match.

She also teased her later performance of a new song called "Ego," which officially dropped on Friday as the fourth single in the lead up to her highly-anticipated album, "The Great Impersonator."

In June, the singer revealed she has been battling chronic illnesses in a social media post tied to the release of "The End," another song on her upcoming album. In the post, Halsey did not confirm any diagnoses.

"long story short, i'm Lucky to be alive. short story long, i wrote an album," Halsey wrote in the post.

The VMAs are pop culture gold

If the Grammys are the music industry's biggest night, the VMAs may be the most entertaining.

Since the first VMAs were held in New York City's Radio City Music Hall in 1984, an astounding number of prolific moments in pop culture history have taken place with the iconic "moon person" statue standing nearby.

From Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 ceremony to Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera shocking early 2000's America by kissing onstage, the VMAs have a knack for crystalizing cultural moments. Many of these moments will likely be revisited tonight in the new most iconic performance category.

'Twin, where have you been?' Muni Long arrives on the carpet

The singer's TikTok-viral song "Made For Me" is nominated in the best R&B category.

The Kelces are wishing nominees luck — 'except if you're up against Tay'

Jason and Travis Kelce are excited for everyone nominated for a moon man tonight, but they're especially hyped for Taylor Swift.

The brothers plugged the award show as one of the advertisements in this morning's episode of their podcast "New Heights." Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce proudly pointed out that his girlfriend was up for multiple VMA awards.

"Let's go, Tay! Come on, Tay!" Jason Kelce cheered.

"Stay on top! Here we go," Travis Kelce said while clapping. "Wishing everybody the best though."

"Unless you're up against Tay, then I hope you lose," his brother joked.

Anitta teases a surprise

Brazilian sensation Anitta has arrived at the VMAs ahead of her expected performance in a wedding-style dress and veil.

“It’s a little spoiler of something,” the singer told MTV on the red carpet. “But I can’t say much.”

Sabrina Carpenter shimmers on the black carpet

Sabrina Carpenter has arrived dressed in head-to-toe white. Carpenter dominated the summer charts and is nominated for seven categories tonight — including artist of the year, song of the year and song of summer. Fans are also awaiting a highly anticipated performance tonight.

LE SSERAFIM kicks off first performance of the night

South Korean girl group LE SSERAFIM just hyped up the black carpet with a pre-show performance of "1-800-hot-n-fun," a track off their fourth EP "Crazy." The group is up tonight for PUSH performance of the year for “EASY."

Shaboozey dazzles on the carpet

The country artist has had a major year, from snagging two features on Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" to releasing a smash hit with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," which is nominated for song of the summer.

LISA looks like a 'Rockstar'

LISA, known for her work as part of K-Pop group Blackpink and as a soloist, is nominated in the best K-Pop category for her single "Rockstar." She is also expected to perform tonight.

In an interview with MTV on the carpet, she shared why her music video for the song was so special.

"I had a chance to shoot in my home country, in Bangkok, and I think it's really cool," she said.

It's a special birthday for the VMAs

This year marks the 40th anniversary of MTV's Video Music Awards.

Over the course of its history, the VMAs have remained a cornerstone of the music awards landscape despite drastic changes in the music, video and broadcast landscapes.

The show has kept its relevance in part by delivering moments of controversy that ultimately shaped pop culture history. It's also managed to integrate digital platforms into its programming, including by adding categories that honor social media success and even allowing viewers to vote for their favorite artists via Instagram stories.

The rapid rise of Chappell Roan

Once a niche pop singer from Missouri trying to make it in Los Angeles, Chappell Roan has skyrocketed to mainstream fame over the past year. Known for the queer themes in her music as well as her drag-inspired aesthetic, Roan’s high-energy music — paired with her deeply emotional lyricism — has earned her a cult following online.

Her debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” released last September, became a sleeper hit that further cemented her status this summer as a rising pop icon. The album charted in the top five on the U.S. Billboard 200 earlier this year, after Roan’s stint as Olivia Rodrigo’s opening act and the release of her hit followup single, “Good Luck, Babe!”

The artist has been open in speaking about the impact of sudden fame on her mental health, recently telling Rolling Stone that "it's been a really hard adjustment."

The 'Midwest Princess' herself is here

Chappell Roan has arrived at the VMAs — holding a sword. The rising pop star is up for four categories this year, including best new artist and song of summer. She's also one of the night's most anticipated performers.

Katy Perry to receive the Video Vanguard Award

The pop star and recently departed American Idol judge dominated the 2010s with hits like “Teenage Dream,” “California Gurls” and “Roar,” delivering some classic, candy-colored music videos along the way.

Now, ahead of her upcoming album “143,” she is being honored with the Video Vanguard Award, which celebrates artists who have made major contributions to music videos and popular culture. 

As is tradition with the winners of this award, Perry will perform a medley of her biggest hits.

Karol G's look is fire

The Colombian superstar has arrived at the VMAs red carpet. She said her outfit and performance tonight will honor her Latino community.

"It's about fire," the singer said on the carpet about her dress. "Latina community has fire everywhere," she told MTV.

She is nominated in the best latin category for “MI EX TENÍA RAZÓN.”

2024 MTV VMAs: Live list of winners as Megan Thee Stallion hosts an unforgettable night of performances

With an impressive roster of performers and historic wins on the line, this year's vmas are an event not to be missed..

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards kick off Wednesday night from New York's UBS Arena.

Since 1984, the VMAs have delivered unforgettable performances, and this year will be no exception. Megan Thee Stallion is emcee for the night's festivities and is also performing. She'll be joined onstage over the course of the night by a high-profile roster of presenters and performers including Eminem , who is opening the show, and Katy Perry , who is this year's Video Vanguard Award recipient.

A record-breaking night could be in store as Taylor Swift leads the pack with 12 nominations. Depending on how she fares, the "Fortnight" singer could surpass Beyoncé as the most-decorated female artist in VMAs history . Post Malone is close behind with 11 nominations.

Meanwhile, Eminem, who has eight nominations, is poised for his own historic moment. He holds the title of most wins by a rap artist but is vying to become the most-awarded male artist in the show's history, a title he currently shares with Peter Gabriel.

With potential surprise performances and artist pairings, special appearances and must-see moments, this year's show is one to watch.

Yahoo Entertainment is live-blogging the awards show. Follow along with our coverage below.

Shawn Mendes brings the lights down low

Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes following an insanely high-energy performance from LISA really was an abrupt vibe shift.

Inside the theater, it really looks cool. When one person is cleaning up on the left, you just look to the performer on the right.

Flavor Flav gives Jordan Chiles a replacement medal

After Jordan Chiles was stripped of her Olympic bronze medal following the 2024 Paris Olympics, Flavor Flav gave her a custom-made replacement.

On stage, the rapper surprised Chiles with a bedazzled clock necklace, telling her, "I got you something they can't take away" before placing it around her neck.

"Wow, I don't even know what to say here," she said. "Thank you!"

Taylor Swift acknowledges Sept. 11

Taylor Swift accepted the award for Best Collaboration with Post Malone and opened her speech with an acknowledgement of the Sept. 11 attacks.

"Guys, I wanted to say waking up this morning in New York on September 11," she began. "I've just been thinking about what happened 23 years ago. Everyone who lost a loved one and everyone that we lost and that is the most important thing today and everything that happens tonight falls behind that."

Megan Thee Stallion opens the show in red, white and blue

Megan Thee Stallion is going for gold at this year’s MTV VMAs.

The rapper walked onstage in an Olympics-themed leotard in red, white and blue to open the show.

“As you can see, I am repping team VMA, and tonight, ‘VMA’ stands for the Voluptuous Megan Awards,” she said. “Clearly, I deserve a gold medal for being a bad bitch.”

Eminem opens the show and gets Taylor Swift out of her seat

Guess who's back? Back again? It's been 14 years since Eminem opened the VMAs, so it's no surprise he channeled one of his prior iconic performances for this one.

Eminem — alongside dozens of Marshall Mathers clones — belted out "Houdini" when he kicked things off. It was reminiscent of when he performed "The Real Slim Shady" at the 2000 VMAs with over 100 look-alikes. Taylor Swift busted out some of her signature awards show dance moves.

After the high-energy performance, Eminem switched gears with the emotional song "Somebody Save Me." The Jelly Roll collaboration is an open letter to his children about his past drug addiction.

Katy Perry wins Most Iconic Performance for 'Roar'

Katy Perry isn't just taking home the Video Vanguard Award tonight — she's also won the fan-voted "Most Iconic Performance" Award for her unforgettable 2013 VMAs performance of "Roar."

Perry beat out music legends Beyoncé, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott and Taylor Swift for the honor.

During the VMAs preshow, she expressed her love for her fans and gave a sweet shout-out to her 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, who she shares with boyfriend Orlando Bloom.

"Don't stay up too late, sweetheart — and eat your broccoli!" she said, adding that motherhood has made her feel "a sense of wholeness" as an artist.

"I love you so much," she told her fans after accepting the award on the carpet. "I do it all for you — and for Daisy."

Watch Perry's 2013 performance below:

Carpenter is nominated for seven VMAs tonight, including Artist of the Year.

How critics reacted to the 1st MTV Video Music Awards

When Dan Aykroyd and Bette Midler hosted the inaugural MTV Video Music Awards at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Sept. 14, 1984, people couldn't have predicted that the event would evolve into a pop culture phenomenon going 40 years strong.

Here's a look back at how some critics reviewed the show in fall 1984, as reported by Slate :

Cliff Radel, Cincinnati Enquirer: "The 1st Annual MTV Video Awards was a momentous occasion, ranking right up there with your average yawn."

Richard Harrington, Washington Post: "While no one can deny the profound influence MTV has had — on music, fashion, and film — it’s equally hard to defend MTV’s bullying tactics and virtual exclusion of Black entertainers. Diana Ross accepted two awards for Michael Jackson; it’s just about the only way she’s been able to get on MTV."

Tom Shales, Nashville Tennessean: "Boorish behavior was the order of the night. Even MTV’s behavior was obnoxious; viewers were beaten over the head with promotional materials for MTV, and the MTV logo was in almost every single shot."

Jon Bream, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "The ceremony was little more than splashy self-aggrandizement for MTV."

David Bianculli, Philadelphia Inquirer: "The true slant of MTV’s self-promotional orgy is complete: an orchestrated, calculated, meaningless event."

Halsey steps out in Versace gown originally worn by Elizabeth Hurley

Halsey stunned in a sleek red cheetah-print dress by Versace. The gown was originally designed for Elizabeth Hurley in 1996.

The singer, who's debuting her new single "Ego" at the awards show, called the dress a "miracle to find."

"From 1996 to me right now," she said of the dress on the MTV VMAs preshow. "I'm just living it up, I'm loving it."

The room where it happens

The vibe inside the arena is astounding — it feels more like a planetarium than a concert venue or a place where hockey games happen.

Sabrina Carpenter nabs 1st VMAs nominations

Fresh off a whirlwind summer that catapulted her career — and online presence — to new heights, Sabrina Carpenter can add "MTV VMAs nominee" to her growing list of accomplishments.

The "Taste" singer is in the running for a total of seven awards, including Artist of the Year, Best Pop and Song of the Year.

" Please Please Please ," Carpenter's second single from her latest album, Short n' Sweet, nabbed the singer her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The pop princess, who performed during the 2023 VMAs preshow, will soon be embarking on the North American leg of her "Short n' Sweet" tour. Tonight she'll hit the VMAs main stage for a hotly anticipated performance.

"Sabrina blew us all away with last year’s pre-show performance." — Bruce Gillmer, #VMAs executive producer. pic.twitter.com/afPV9Np5x2 — Sabrina Carpenter All-News 💋 (@SCANews_) September 10, 2024

Chappell Roan arrives with a sword

The Midwest Princess has arrived. Chappell Roan made her debut on the VMAs black carpet.

In clips circulating on social media, the "Good Luck, Babe!" singer appeared to clap back at a photographer.

Someone is heard saying, "Shut the f*** up!" which quickly caught Roan's attention. She yelled right back.

Cyndi Lauper, who won Best Female Video at the 1st VMAs, will present an award

Cyndi Lauper , who made history by winning Best Female Video at the first MTV VMAs in 1984 for her hit "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," will return to the stage as a presenter this year.

For the singer, it's likely to be a full-circle moment as the VMAs celebrate 40 years of unforgettable music and moments.

The VMAs roll out the black carpet

For its 40th anniversary, the MTV VMAs took on a bolder, moodier vibe as stars arrived to walk the black carpet.

The cosmic-inspired backdrop complements the show's legendary "Moon Person" trophy.

Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' performance could have derailed her career — but instead it made her a superstar

Forty years ago, Madonna’s "Like a Virgin" performance at the inaugural Video Music Awards in 1984 shocked audiences and cemented itself as a defining pop-culture moment of the ’80s. Her stylist at the time, Maripol, crafted the famous peekaboo bridal gown look.

In a 2019 interview with Yahoo Entertainment , Maripol reflected on MTV's behind-the-scenes attempts to "intimidate" Madonna during the performance.

"I saw what [MTV] did, and I can tell you that they tried to destroy her that day," she recalled. "They went under her skirt with the camera; they were trying to intimidate her."

Despite this, the performance launched Madonna into superstardom.

"I knew that [VMAs] day that she had made it," Maripol added. "Every journalist was rushing, running, going, ‘Oh my God, who is this girl with the white outfit rolling and crawling on the floor, with crosses in her ears and her name is Madonna? And she's singing about being like a virgin?’ They were shocked, yes."

Katy Perry teases fans with a rehearsal video

Katy Perry is gearing up for the 2024 MTV VMAs, where she's receiving the Video Vanguard Award and performing some of her biggest hits.

The "Woman's World" singer took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes rehearsal video. Not only is she decked out in wings, but she's visited by giant blue butterflies.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry)

Megan Thee Stallion is dressing to impress

As host of the 2024 MTV VMAs, Megan Thee Stallion is ready — and eager — to show off some looks. A lot of looks.

"I'm excited to change clothes 500 times. I'm excited to perform. I'm excited to see all the Hotties," the rapper told People ahead of the ceremony. "I love New York, I can't wait to be there again and eat all the food, and I'm excited for people to see what I bring to the table while hosting."

Stallion is no stranger to commanding attention on the red carpet. At last year's VMAs, she stunned in a daring sheer black strapless gown by Brandon Blackwood.

What is the Video Vanguard Award?

The Video Vanguard Award honors artists who have made groundbreaking contributions to the art of music videos and have left a lasting impact on pop culture.

The first award was given at MTV's inaugural Video Music Awards in 1984 to David Bowie, the Beatles and director Richard Lester, all of whom shared the honor. Past winners also include Britney Spears, Madonna, Kanye West, Missy Elliott and LL Cool J. Katy Perry is this year’s recipient.

In 1991, the award was renamed the "Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award." However, in 2019, amid renewed sexual abuse allegations against Jackson, MTV quietly removed his name from its website. The use of Jackson's name in association with the award, however, has since fluctuated .

Eminem to start the show

Eminem is set to open the 2024 MTV VMAs live from New York's UBS Arena.

The rapper, who released his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady, on July 12, last opened the VMAs in 2010 when he was joined by Rihanna to perform " Love the Way You Lie ." With nods in eight categories, including Video of the Year and Best Hip-Hop, Eminem is the third-most nominated artist at this year's awards show.

The "Mockingbird" hitmaker made his VMAs debut in 1999, the same year he took home the Moon Person (formerly Moonman) for Best New Artist.
