Nicki's VMAs Performance Will Be Amazing

With less than one week to go, the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards performers list has mostly been revealed. While we can look forward to amazing performances from artists like Demi Lovato, Pharrell and the Weeknd, one name only recently joined the list: Nicki Minaj. In fact, Nicki Minaj will open the 2015 VMAs with a show-stopping performance that the world needs to see, and I can't wait. Minaj is one of the most influential artists of the moment. She's collaborated with countless other superstars, created a viral sensation with her "Anaconda" video and single art, and can always be counted on to push the envelope. In short, she's an entertainer, through and through, and a hard-working one at that.

While the list of performers is definitely amazing and will make for an incredible show, Minaj will elevate it with her signature creativity. Let's not forget that she opened the 2014 MTV VMAs with an epic medley that included Ariana Grande and Jessie J. Minaj knows fierce, and fierce is always in style at the VMAs. Still not convinced?
