MTV announced Friday (Sept. 3rd) that Lorde will no longer perform at the Video Music Awards on Sunday, September 12th “due to a change in production elements.” The show wrote on its Twitter account, “We love Lorde and cannot wait for her to perform on the VMA state in the future!”
This is the second time in recent memory that Lorde chose not to sing at the VMAs. In 2017, Lorde danced her way through her song “Homemade Dynamite” while battling the flu.
Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, Foo Fighters, Chlöe, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Twenty One Pilots, and Justin Bieber are still scheduled to perform.
