Pronti per la festa?
I 2025 VMA sono alle porte e noi ci stiamo preparando per quella che sarà una serata molto intensa a New York.
L’iconico show di MTV tornerà per la seconda volta alla UBS Arena di Elmont e il 7 settembre saranno presenti numerosi artisti. Dopo i festeggiamenti di 2024 – uno sbaciucchiamento tra Sabrina Carpenter e un alieno, le vibrazioni medievali di Chappell Roan e un salto mortale all’indietro di Benson Boone, solo per citarne alcuni – sospettiamo che questa volta i partecipanti alzeranno la posta in gioco.
Lo spettacolo prenderà il via questa domenica alle 20.00 sulla CBS. Ecco le informazioni:
