Eminem opened the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with a vibrant performance featuring his latest singles, 'Houdini' and 'Somebody Save Me' with Jelly Roll. This marks his first opening act at the VMAs in over a decade, reminiscent of his iconic 2000 performance with doppelgangers. Eminem is nominated for eight awards this year, including Video of the Year and Artist of the Year, as he aims to extend his record for the most VMAs won by a single artist. The performance also included visual nods to his past works, setting a nostalgic tone for the awards ceremony. Eminem's new album, 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),' debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 'Houdini' reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100. Other notable performers at the event included Katy Perry and Megan Thee Stallion.
