The upcoming 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) are set to be one of the most talked-about events of the year, not just because of the performances but also due to the potential drama surrounding the artists involved. With the recent announcement that Shawn Mendes will join Sabrina Carpenter and his ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello on stage, the internet has been buzzing with speculation and excitement.
Mendes, who took a brief hiatus from the music industry to focus on his mental health, is making a much-anticipated return. His inclusion in the VMAs lineup, alongside Carpenter and Cabello, has reignited rumors of a past love triangle among the trio. These rumors were fueled earlier this year when Carpenter released her album ‘Short n’ Sweet’, which many fans believe hints at her past relationships, possibly including Mendes.
Carpenter, who was first linked to Mendes in early 2023, has been in the spotlight not only for her music but also for the supposed rivalry with Cabello. The song “Taste” from her album has led to speculation that it references Mendes returning to Cabello, with whom he had an on-and-off relationship from 2014 to 2023. Although Mendes has publicly denied dating Carpenter, their interactions and the timing of their public appearances have kept fans intrigued.
As the VMAs approach, fans are eager to see how the three stars will navigate this potentially awkward situation on stage. Both Carpenter and Cabello are also nominees at this year’s awards, adding another layer of tension and excitement. MTV has promised a night full of unforgettable performances, with artists like Anitta, Karol G, and LL Cool J also set to take the stage.
The 2024 MTV VMAs will air live on September 11 from the UBS Arena in New York, promising not just musical excellence but a possible spectacle of celebrity dynamics. With fans already dubbing the event a “drama-filled night,” it’s clear that this year’s VMAs will be one to watch.
