Adding to the excitement of the night, Busta Rhymes is set to receive the MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award, while Ricky Martin will make history by becoming the first artist to be presented with the Latin Icon Award. All these elements combined set the stage for what promises to be a memorable and remarkable evening at the VMAs.
Lady Gaga sparked fans’ interest recently by appearing in Tim Burton’s popular Netflix series ‘Wednesday.’ In the series, she portrays the enigmatic character Rosaline Rotwood, a teacher at the mysterious Nevermore Academy, whose past is intertwined with that of Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega. During the premiere event, she disclosed that her latest song, ‘The Dead Dance,’ is scheduled for release on September 3, coinciding with the launch of the second half of ‘Wednesday’ season two.
