Camila Cabello’s 2024 VMA performance on September 11, 2024, was nothing short of dramatic. The show opened with a video of the singer as a blonde, performing “June Gloom” from her album “C,XOXO.” However, the clip was soon cut to reveal the video was playing on a laptop.
Cabello herself stepped out on stage in a flowing white dress, her freshly brunette hair and bangs catching the spotlight. Standing alone in a transparent booth, she began to sing her latest ballad, “Godspeed,” captivating the audience with her emotional delivery.
