We previously reported that Lady Gaga will perform at Aug. 28’s Video Music Awards, but now it turns out that she’ll once again be the program’s opening act.

As you recall, she and Elton John opened the show two years ago.

Momma Monster broke the news on MTV last night during the slot that was supposed to serve as a premiere for her new video, “You & I.” However,  the clip showed up two days earlier.

Additionally, Entertainment Weekly reports that Cobra Starship will perform “You Make Me Feel” featuring Sabi during the pre-show.

Previously announced performers for the show include Chris Brown, Adele and Bruno Mars.

    Lady Gaga didn't opened the VMAs in 2009 with Elton John, @HitFix. That's Grammy! I can't believe you posted something not right.

    not only posted something wrong, this is the most obvious opening ever, MTV you're far from relevant, you're a reality channel, music doesn't exists anymore, and Gaga is the only artist can open your stupid award show?! hahaha i'm really interest in how much money spends gaga's team for all this atention
