New artist tends to perform in Pre-show. Katy did the pre-show too in her debut year. If Ariana can score a hit next year then she will be invited to perform on the main stage

a promo for her

Cool

Not her being with... Austin Mahone.

She deserves to perform on the main show.

Austin & Ariana for preshow This year VMAS keeps getting better!!

I still dont understand why Ariana is not nominated for Artist to Watch!!

Yay for her and Austin!

She isn't big enough yet to get on the main stage, so this is a very good start for her. I hope she blows up this year.

and austin too yay!

can't wait.

YAAAS
