Award season always brings the glam, but few events do it quite like the MTV VMAs. With iconic artists returning to their stomping ground to leave their mark, the red carpet also becomes a spotlight for rising stars ready to shine even brighter. This year, BLACKPINK's Lisa turned heads in a sleek, hooded Mugler creation, proving she could call the shots on subtle chic. But it was her debut performance that set the UBS Arena ablaze, with fans and the internet alike losing their cool.

Debut performances are a once-in-a-lifetime deal, and Lisa owned it like a seasoned pro straight out of a superstar’s playbook. With four VMA nominations this year, she made her solo debut with electrifying renditions of ‘Rockstar’ and ‘New Woman.’ In a red leather two-piece, she delivered a sultry chair dance, effortlessly transitioning from runway queen to a fiery force of nature. In short, Lisa is a rockstar who has proven there is no better way to leave a lasting impression.

Lisa previously performed at the 2022 MTV VMAs with BLACKPINK’s debut show and their killer rendition of ‘Pink Venom’. That year, she made history as the first K-pop artist to snag a moon person. This year, alongside her epic performance, Lisa's track ‘Rockstar’ is a hot contender with four nominations—Best Art Direction, Choreography, Editing, and K-Pop. With this solo era causing a fan frenzy, Lisa's truly owning the rockstar vibe.

The red hot performance has probably added tons of new members to her fan club, with the Internet ablaze with visuals from her unforgettable show.

Right before the big night at New York’s UBS Arena, Halsey revealed to Brady on SiriusXM about her major excitement for BLACKPINK’s Lisa at the MTV VMAs this year. Halsey could not stop gushing about Lisa, calling her the ultimate life of the party. She even joked about crashing the stage just to soak up some of that high-energy magic Lisa brings whenever she performs. And guess what? Fans are totally in with Halsey’s hype as Lisa made history once more, becoming the first soloist to win Best K-Pop at the VMAs. 

Fan pages everywhere are practically exploding with excitement over Lisa’s performance, and even the non-fan pages are jumping in to give her props. 

For many, this was the perfect warm-up before Lisa hits the stage for her solo debut at a music festival later this month at Global Citizen 2024 in New York City. So, for those who were caught off guard by the fiery performance Lisa brought to the VMAs, it is time to buckle up and get ready for the next thrilling ride.
