EW's editorial guidelines Updated on September 12, 2024 08:39AM EDT The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards headed back to New York to honor this year's hottest music stars as only a hot girl can. That's right, the Houston hot girl herself, Megan Thee Stallion, served as host and was also one of the night's performers. Other musicians who took the stage included Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, and Rauw Alejandro. Roan's performance marked her first ever appearance on an awards stage, and she did not disappoint. Performing her hit "Good Luck, Babe!", Roan embodied a "Joan of Arc" a.k.a. "Roan of Arc" theme, to the delight of fans everywhere. Meanwhile, Carpenter celebrated iconic blondes with homages to Britney Spears, Madonna, and Marilyn Monroe sprinkled throughout her medley of "Please Please Please," "Taste," and "Espresso."
