In advance of the world tour for her most recent, chart-topping album, Witness, Perry will light up the stage as the first performer announced for this year’s show.

“I’ve been training with MTV in zero gravity, eating astronaut ice cream, and I’m on a group text with Buzz Aldrin and Neil deGrasse Tyson,” said Katy Perry. “Come August 27th, I’ll be ready to be your MOONWOMAN! Brace for impact, kids.”
“We’re thrilled to have global phenomenon Katy Perry as the host and a performer at the 2017 VMAs,” Bruce Gillmer, Head of Music and Music Talent, Global Entertainment Group, Viacom. “She is at the forefront of music culture and the perfect person to anchor this year’s show, which promises to be one of the most diverse and music-filled in VMA history.”

It was a night of highs and lows at the 17th annual BET Awards, held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on June 25, 2017. Beyoncé won five prizes, and she was the ceremony’s top nominee (with seven nominations), but she did not attend, because she reportedly gave birth to twins on June 12. 2017. The show had its share of glitches: host Leslie Jones was left to adlib on stage more than once while technical difficulties had to be fixed. There were also awkward moments when nothing was happening on stage, which was a clear sign that things were not running smoothly behind the scenes. The ceremony ran over 45 minutes after its scheduled end time, and the live broadcast was cut off on BET at 11 p.m. Eastern Time to run the previously scheduled stand-up comedy series “Kevin Hart Presents: The Next Level. ” However, the remainder of the live broadcast could be seen on BET sister networks MTV, VH1 and Centric.
However, the show had some memorable highlights, most notably performances from Bruno Mars, New Edition (recipient of this year’s BET Lifetime Achievement Award) and a reunited Xscape.
Presenters included Yara Shahidi, Cardi B, Issa Rae, Jamie Foxx, La La Anthony, Girls Trip cast members (Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah), Robin Thede,Trevor Noah, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Logan Browning, Cari Champion, Deon Cole , Remy Ma, Irv Gotti, “Detroit” cast members (Algee Smith, Jason Mitchell, Laz Alonso and Jacob Latimore), and DeRay Davis.
Here is the list of performances at the 2017 BET Awards:
