Britney Spears to perform at MTV VMAs
Britney Spears will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The 34-year-old singer revealed in a new Instagram video that she will take to the stage at the show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 28.
The teaser shows some iconic Britney items, including her red ‘Oops I Did It Again’ catsuit, the snake she carried on her shoulders during her 2001 performance of ‘I’m a Slave 4 U’ and the wedding dress she wore to perform in 2003.
A voiceover from the star states: "The VMAs don’t just give you a stage. They give you a story – some way of taking a fraction of a second and making it live forever. Before you know it, it’s history. Before you know it, it’s Britney, bitch!"
Britney will perform her new single ‘Make Me’ from her upcoming album ‘Glory’ and will be joined on stage by G-Eazy.
This will be the first time Britney performs at the VMAs since 2007.
