It has just been announced that Taylor Swift will be performing at this years MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor is the first performer confirmed for the show which will air on September 13th.

This is the first time Taylor has ever performed at the MTV VMA’s, and she said about the show, “I’m so excited that MTV and the VMAs have invited me to perform, because I think this year’s show will be unlike anything they’ve ever done! I love incorporating theatrics into my performances and the VMAs have always allowed artists to run with that. MTV has been so good to me, and I could not be more excited about this year’s VMAs.”

Taylor will be singing a new version of her hit song “You Belong With Me,” at the awards show, which will be hosted yet again by British comedian Russell Brand, who was not that nice to the Jonas Brothers last year, cracking jokes about their purity rings all throughout the show. But we’re sure Taylor wont mind that one bit!
