The MTV VMAs now has a 'Best Metaverse Performance' category for events like Ariana Grande's Fortnite concert.
The upcoming MTV Video Music Awards 2022 has created a new category this year in order to honor the best music performances in virtual spaces. The new"Best Metaverse Performance" category includes nominations for the likes of Ariana Grande's Rift Tour event in Fortnite.
"We saw the opportunity to highlight and honor some of the best, most impactful executions of this – and celebrate artists who have found creative ways to use these spaces – which led to the addition of 'Best Metaverse Performance' category this year," a statement from an MTV spokesperson on the creation of the category, given to The Hill, reads.
Whether this category sticks around in the future remains to be seen. That said, there does not currently seem to be an end in sight for these kinds of performances."I think there will be more opportunities to take part in similar events in the future," said musician Gen Hoshino in our interview earlier this year about performing in video games in the future.
