So my friend works at MTV and is pretty high up, and he shared some details from the VMA performance with me. Apparently it's costing them 2.6m to produce her performance...she's going to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge onto a boat in the East River and perform there, and there are going to be fireworks in the background.
I think applause might overtake katy next week. Gags has a live performance Monday on GMA, plus her music video, plus VMAs. Katy just has VMAs performance:/
