Chappell Roan.

MTV said it has moved its 2024 Video Music Awards to September 11 to avoid a conflict with the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, which will take place on September 10 on ABC.

The VMAs had been scheduled to air live from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 10.

In observance of the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, MTV will again support the nonprofit 9/11 Day, which organizes the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, and Tuesday’s Children, which serves the families of 9/11 victims.
