New York, NY (July 25, 2013) - MTV, MTV News' Sway and fans announced today from the Brooklyn Promenade via its various social media platforms that megastar, singer-songwriter Lady Gaga will perform the new single from her highly anticipated upcoming fourth studio album, ARTPOP, for the first time ever LIVE on the 2013 "MTV Video Music Awards" stage from Brooklyn's Barclays Center on August 25 at 9:00pm ET/PT. Additional 2013 "MTV Video Music Awards" performers will be announced at a later date.

From her powerful and bloody rendition of "Paparazzi" to the gender bending, adrenaline fueled version of "You and I," Lady Gaga is the mastermind behind some of the most memorable VMA performances in recent years. This year, she'll continue that legacy with what's sure to be an unforgettable performance of the first single to be officially released from her fourth full length album, ARTPOP, on August 19th.

As one of the most talked about and innovative artists of this generation, Lady Gaga has left an indelible mark on the "MTV Video Music Awards" by winning an astounding 13 Moonmen since 2009, including "Best New Artist," "Video of the Year" for "Bad Romance" as well as "Best Video with a Message" for "Born This Way."

In celebration of the forthcoming performance, MTV Hits, MTV's 24-hour music channel, will feature an hour block of Lady Gaga videos and performances from 3-4pm ET/PT.

Miley Cyrus' millennial anthem "We Can't Stop" is up for "Best Female Video," "Best Pop Video" and "Best Editing" while Thirty Seconds To Mars' "Up In The Air" received nominations for "Best Rock Video," "Best Art Direction" and "Best Cinematography."
