not true. Superbowl still has impact on Formation despite it was available for free

"when she deliberately told us she's releasing in September to nip the rumors in the bud"

lol this is the most random sentance that is being repeated over here. She announced it cause she was at the summit so pres release needed to happen. She probably won't perform but it has nothing to do with it

yeah cause it's so much better that we get random Ellen performance than big awards perforamnce...

Wait, I just realized we're getting alot of new magazine covers too

The vma is too crowded she might end up being overshadowed, like 2013 (kind of)..

I want her to attend, maybe announce/tease something and thats it.

There's other big TV shows that air in the evening, America's Got Talent, Dancing with the Stars etc

they MUST have a bigger plan if they're skipping the VMAs.. I trust in them.

Yeah, she should just present and hype perfect illusion but not perform

Bey will perform, rumoured that Lemonade will receive something?

Rihanna, Micheal Jackson Vanguard Award + will perform

Britney, her first VMA performance since 2007/2008?

There's too much happening

If Lady Gaga goes on to perform on Dancing With The Stars, I will personally kill her

Why not be the next Bachelorette instead? Maybe even be a patient that dies in the cold opening of Grey's Anatomy's season premiere?

It would be so cool if she didn't announce and surprised us performing on the vmas, releasing song + video on the same day, plus annoucing album title.. Take the world by a storm

the Lovegame performance is kinda iconic though

She was a nobody at the time though, and the show was actually a hit then

I'm scared I don't want this to be indie-rock

It's not like a vmas performance even helps much.

She doesn't need it which is why she won't be performing! Simple as that.

Blame yourself if you're gonna meltdowns over her not running around in armaliddo heels and meat dress singing perfect illusion when VMAs are on

It's never about the actual performance per say, it's about all the media outlets talking about it the rest of the week

I want her to be there at least, the GP needs to be reminded that she's still around and has a single coming out soon

If Gaga won't perform she better not even appear at the VMAs

well idk sis I'm in the UK, what other shows are there, the voice?

She needs to be there
