KATSEYE is about to slay the 2025 VMAs! On September 2, 2025, it was confirmed that the six-member girl group will perform during the official pre-show of the MTV Video Music Awards. For those unversed, the pre-show performances take place before the main show begins. The performers often hype up the audience and set the tone during the red carpet. But enough context! This performance marks another milestone for the rising stars, who debuted last year under HYBE and Gefferen Records.

But that’s not the only big news! In case you didn’t know, KATSEYE is also competing for two VMA nominations. First, the TV Push Performance of the Year category, thanks to their January live take of their song “Touch.” Then, there’s the nomination for Best Group, which will have them competing against big names like aespa, BLACKPINK, Coldplay, SEVENTEEN, and Stray Kids, proving they can go toe-to-toe with some of today’s hottest acts.
The group’s lineup, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, Manon Bannerman, Daniela Avanzini, and Yoonchae Jeong, has been turning heads not only with music but also with the authenticity they bring to the table. With Lara and Megan publicly coming out earlier this year as bisexuals, KATSEYE has gained the solid backing of the LGBTQ+ community, adding even more love to their growing fanbase. Not to mention, they’ve been building a steady following thanks to their charisma and energetic performances, which are making fans go crazy.
The 2025 VMAs will air September 7 on CBS, MTV, and Paramount+, and you can bet KATSEYE will be serving looks, vocals, and explosive energy.
