Making her debut at the Video Music Awards in 2025, performer Megan Moroney steps boldly onto the Extended Play stage on the day of the awards, which CBS airs on Sunday alongside Paramount Plus. The announcement stoked such chatter and stirred different reactions among viewers online.

The VMAs official account posted this with a cheeky caption twisting Nancy Sinatra’s famous song: “These boots were made for w̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ performing!! 💙 @megmoroney is taking the Extended Play Stage at the 2025 #VMAs, Sunday on @cbstv and @paramountplus!”
The post immediately became the center of attention and debate between fans and casual TV watchers alike. “Let’s see them up close. ❤️,” commented a user, and another sarcastically replied about the monochromatic blue walls, “That was so nice of you guys to paint your walls blue because you knew she was coming!!💙💙” The official account responded in kind with, “anything for Meg 🤭.”
The conversation took some-weird-and-unrelated-turns with a strange comment linking it to the Big Brother reality show: “Perfect boots for Big Brother currently. If there was no vote for that eviction, I’m walking.” Following this came an apparent spoiler about an upcoming eviction in the reality series.
The comment section shortly became a battleground for K-pop fanbase promotion, with endlessly repeated hashtags and group names rallying for votes. Such repeating comments almost drowned away the actual discussion about the post.
So, through this interference, one graphic about the upcoming show roughly filtered through: “So excited for Meg Moroney to rock the stage! 💙”, and another, “”Dang, she’s so fine”-“.
There were criticisms during the broadcast about the network, some with a schedule glare: “And CBS was made for canceling good shows like SWAT, Most Wanted, International, The Equalizer, Poppa’s House, etc…smh.”
2025 Video Music Awards are still being churned for announcements and excitement as the date of the show inches closer to them. Moroney’s incorporation amounts to the continued blend of country and pop acts that the show is known for. Extended Play Stage has always been home to the discovery of new artists and offbeat performances and is often a core point of interest for viewers seeking to watch something different from the standard big stage shows.
