Certainly. Although it would set her up nicely to get the Vanguard award in 2017 and do a big medley of the album... I can't think of any specific instances where an artist has performed twice in a row at the VMAs to promote the same album.

Shake it Off - 2014

Bad Blood - 2015 both from 1989

 

Anaconda - 2014

The Night is still Youg/ Trini Dem Girls - 2015 both from The PrinkPint

How can she promote it without performing it. Bobby has some explaining to do if she doesn't make it.

Mess I don't remember Taylor performing SIO :duck:

Interesting though, thanks. Still not a very common occurrence, I suppose. Anything is possible :)

I think she'll perform at the VMAs, to create the Perfect Illusion (manipulating the release date to Aug 26th lol)

Eminem announced his album and single at the VMAs in 2013 without actually performing

My Idea:

-VMA performance of the single: 28th

-Radio Release of the Single: 29th

-Spotify/Apple Music/iTunes Release: September 2nd

 

If the single is a radio exclusive for 4 days, it might give them more incentive to play it and build more hype so that we can crash iTunes when the song drops.

That's a great idea tbh, praying she does it

It's not that she can't, it's just that it doesn't seem like a very good idea which makes it feel unlikely.

Why would she perform it without it being available therefore wasting essentially wasting that initial boost. Wouldn't she just release it before the VMAs so that the single can receive a full effect?

It's not the same situation as SwineFest - even though it was out of the ordinary for a pop artist to do - where she was hyping her album. That stage is not as big as the VMAs and this would be to promote a specific single.

But it WILL be the 'initial boost' because the VMAs are on August 28 and the single will be very early September judging by the radio DJ saying we would get new music within 30 days. A VMAs performance would create a lot of interest because people will be waiting to hear the studio version.

Don't forget guys that Britney performed Gimme More at the VMAs before it was released and then when it came out, it went top 3 on the hot 100

Releases are different in a completely digital-dominated industry now, though.

Plus Gimme More premiered on radio before the VMAs in 2007 (source and source). Assuming Perfect Illusion really is released in September, the live performance would be the single's official debut.
