Anitta’s VMAs performance

Earlier this week, MTV revealed that Anitta would be doing two performances at tonight’s event. The post was shared on Instagram, and was made out of different Polaroid images where Anitta is seen with a white T-shirt and a cap and is smiling for the camera. “Time to scratch “polaroids with Anitta” off my #VMA rehearsal to-do list,” reads the caption. “Don’t miss her TWO PERFORMANCES tomorrow at 8p.”

Last year, Anitta performed “Envolver” at the MTV stage. This marks her second appearance on the VMA stage in a row. She’ll perform a medley of some of her songs from her new record, “Funk Generation: A Favela Love Story.” She’s nominated in the Best Latin category.
