The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards will be a historic night for Beyoncé. Not only will she be performing songs from her self-titled album but she will also receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. The announcement was made by MTV on Thursday morning and fans could not be more thrilled.
“Bey is going to be all over the show,” a MTV source said. “MTV is still working everything out, but they want her to open the show with a big production.”
It is widely known that big production is Mrs. Carter’s middle name, especially following the power shortage at the 2013 Superbowl. In 2011, she topped off her performance with now two year old Blue Ivy. Maybe she has something up her sleeve for this year.
Queen Bey is receiving the “moonman inspired by the late King of Pop” award after Justin Timberlake. Madonna and Britney Spears also took home the award. To no surprise, the Drunk In Love singer has eight nominations including Video of the Year.
MTV is describing the upcoming show as “epic” and Beyoncé puts the cherry on top. The VMAs will air on Sunday, August 24th at 9pm.
