Willard's own Chappell Roan is performing live at the VMAs next month. The up-and-coming queer pop musician has also been nominated for two awards, which fans can vote for through the end of August.
The 40th annual MTV Video Music Awards are Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. This year's awards will be held at New York City's UBS Arena. Typically, the VMAs are held on Sept. 10 but this year's ceremony was pushed back a day to avoid sharing airtime with the presidential debate.
The VMAs will of course be available to watch on the MTV channel, but for fans without cable, the ceremony will be available for streaming on Paramount+. More streaming options will become available closer to the event.
What VMAs has Chappell Roan been nominated for?
Roan was nominated for Best New Artist alongside Benson Boone, Gracie Adams, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tyla.
She was also nominated for Best PUSH Performance. The PUSH Performance category correlates with MTV's PUSH initiative, which aims to connect music lovers with new artists each month. Roan was recognized as MTV's PUSH artist in March .
