“Madonna and MTV have been intrinsically tied since their respective youths,” said Bruce Gillmer, global head of music and talent, Viacom, and co-brand head, MTV International. “As Madonna continues to rule the world, we’re thrilled to be with her once again live from our Camden studios to world premiere her incredible collaboration with Maluma, ‘Medellín.’”
Madonna and MTV have shared a history starting with the early premieres of the pop superstar’s boundary-pushing music videos. Madonna has been honored with 24 MTV awards between the “MTV Video Music Awards” and the “MTV EMAs.” Additionally, it was at the inaugural VMAs where the pop icon graced the stage in a wedding dress to perform, “Like a Virgin,” in her first major award show performance.
Madonna’s 14th studio album, Madame X, is available for pre-sale now and drops June 14th.
