And the 2018 ceremony is no exception. So far, the list includes Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Shawn Mendes — and MTV says there are more to come!

In addition to receiving nominations for Best Collaboration and Best Latin song for "Dinero," featuring DJ Khaled and Cardi B, she's set to accept the 2018 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. And like other Video Vanguard winners before her, she'll be taking the stage for what's sure to be an epic, showstopping performance. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Travis Scott: The rapper (and father of Kylie Jenner's baby girl) is set to perform a medley of songs from his new album Astroworld, the title of which is a reference to his favorite Six Flags theme park. The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, and Migos' Quavo are all featured on the album with Scott, so we're hoping for a guest appearance or two during his performance at the VMAs.
