Though Hale isn’t slated to sing any of her popular country songs, the pre-show coverage will include performances from Charli XCX and popular girl band Fifth Harmony.
“We couldn’t believe it when we were told that we get to perform on the VMA red carpet,” said Fifth Harmony’s Ally Brooke. “We’ve all grown up watching many of our favorite artists perform at the VMAs and now to not only be nominated for an award but also get to perform is phenomenal for us.”
“I cannot wait to perform during the VMAs pre-show,” added Charli XCX, who collaborated with Iggy Azalea on “Fancy.”
