The 39-year-old superstar, who has been busy touring the world amid her sold-out Mayhem Ball Tour, was confirmed to be joining the star-studded lineup this week.
On Saturday, the official Instagram page for the awards ceremony announced that ‘there will be magic in the air’ as Mother Monster will be taking her latest hits to the VMAs stage.
