Sorry, Britney Army — despite what the internet is saying, Britney Spears is not making a surprise return to the MTV VMAs this year.
Rumors have been swirling that Britney would hit the stage at the 2025 Video Music Awards with a medley performance or new music reveal, but People magazine has confirmed there’s no truth to the hype. A source tells People that Britney was “never due to perform,” and there are no plans in place for a VMA appearance of any kind.
The speculation likely stems from fan-driven wishful thinking, especially considering Britney’s unforgettable VMA legacy — from her 2001 python moment to her 2003 Madonna kiss. But as of now, 2025 won’t be the year of another Britney VMA moment.
So while we’d all love a comeback performance, this one’s officially debunked.
