The singer is nominated in two categories in 2024: best pop — alongside Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Tate McRae and Taylor Swift — and best trending video for “I Luv It."

Cabello's VMAs appearance comes just a few months after she carried a chilly statement piece to the Met Gala in May. At the time, the "He Knows" singer brought a block of ice carved in the shape of a purse with a bronze rose encapsulated inside.

"There was a rumor, by the way, that your purse was $25,000 or something," the show's host Jimmy Fallon said.

"I saw this TikTok that had a bunch of comments and likes that was like, 'Camila Cabello is getting canceled because she spent $25,000 on this ice purse," Cabello replied. "I was like 'Guys, it's water, frozen. You can make it at home! It's however much water costs plus a rose that we got from Etsy.' "

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
