Normani's Bringing Her 'Wild Side' To The VMAs

Are you ready for Normani to take you to the wild side? The R&B-pop diva is back and she's willing to strut right onto the 2021 VMAs stage for another electrifying performance.


Normani will perform at the show for the opening time since dunking all over the 2019 VMAs with her debut solo single "Motivation." That efficiency noticed her making use of a full basketball court and dazzling in velour; and since then, the artist has continued to push boundaries in her visuals, especially thanks to the rather improbable movements in her recent "Wild Side" vid. We can't wait to be able to see what she'll do if she brings the song to life in its television debut.


Normani is no stranger to the VMAs. Furthermore to her breathtaking "Motivation" debut in 2019, she hit the stage in 2014 and 2017 with Fifth Harmony and picked up her first solo Moonperson trophy in 2019 for "Waves," her teamwork with 6lack, which won Best R&B.


She joins a superstar-sized roster of performers hitting the VMA stage this year, including Justin Bieber, Travis Barker, Camila Cabello, Chlöe, Doja Cat, Jack Harlow, The Kid Laroi, Lil Nas X, Swae Lee, Machine Gun Kelly, Alicia Keys, Shawn Mendes, Kacey Musgraves, Ozuna, Olivia Rodrigo, Tainy, and Twenty One Pilots. Kim Petras, Swedish Home Mafia, and Polo G will perform throughout the pre-show.
