Kacey Musgraves is set to perform a tribute to Dolly Parton at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. The appearance is described across outlets as honoring Parton, who is reported to have died, and marks Musgraves’ return to the VMAs after a multi-year gap.
Musgraves is also competing at this year’s ceremony. She receives a nomination in the Best Country category for “Dry Spell.” Deadline notes that it will be her first VMA performance in five years, while also citing her prior VMA career recognition. Both sources frame the tribute as part of a continuing series of Parton tributes, with Musgraves adding another onstage moment during the broadcast.
