Lady Gaga to perform on MTV Video Music Awards Show

U.S. singer Lady Gaga performs at her concert in Seoul, South Korea, Sunday, Aug. 9, 2009. "I'm simply gutted to be both a performer and nominee at the 2009 VMAs. In fact, I'm so happy, I could die."

Lady Gaga expresses happiness in her own quirky way, and we can expect and equally interesting performance when she hits the stage Sept. 13 at the MTV Video Music Awards Show.

She is nominated for nine video awards.

Lady Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, has sold more than one million copies and reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart.

She has had two No. 1 songs, Just Dance and Poker Face. Another single, LoveGame, made it to No. 5.

The show will be broadcast live on MTV at 9 p.m. ET and tape-delayed at 9 p.m. PT.

The TV program will air on MTV’s entire network of 68 channels throughout the world. Theoretically, the program can be seen by more than one billion people.

In a study in contrasts, Taylor Swift will also perform on the awards show.

The public may vote for their favorites in some categories at MTV.com.

Among the award presenters this year are Miranda Cosgrove, star of iCarly, singer Katy Perry and Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl.
