The 2016 VMAs are this Sunday, which means we're just one day away from witnessing what could be the year's most memorable pop culture moments. Of course, it all comes down to the celebs in attendance. Which performance will be so spectacular that people will talk about it for years? Which presenters will swap shade, or share a bonding moment, that sparks the next viral catchphrase?
The most exciting news about the VMAs might be that Britney Spears will be performing at the show for the first time in almost a decade. Other musicians scheduled to perform include Future, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, The Chainsmokers, Nick Jonas, Ty Dolla Sign, Halsey, and Ariana Grande. There's even talk that Beyoncé could take the stage, as Time reports, so keep your fingers crossed. Kanye West will also appear at the VMAs, and could possibly perform, according to Billboard.
