Well, the big news is that MTV has gotten Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande to perform their hit duet “Rain” on the Video Music Awards.

The pair are nominated for 9 awards for “Rain.” And now that they’re going to appear together, they’re going to win all their categories.

Look, we’re not stupid. But I can’t object. They’re a lot of fun, and great singers. Let them win.

I guess The Weeknd will win something, since he’s on the show.

Miley Cyrus is just going to promote her new single.

The rest of the guests — BTS, J. Balvin, Doja Cat, Maluma, Roddy Ricch, and CNCO. — are just filler.

The show airs Sunday, August 30th on all the MTV platforms, at 8pm. Aside from maybe a Yankee game, I have nothing else to do. I’ll watch. So will you.
