Metaverse killed the video star.

By Elena Cavender on July 26, 2022

Watch out music videos! The metaverse is coming for you.

Have you ever attended a concert in the metaverse? Judging by the latest
category to be added to the MTV Video Music Awards roster, you probably
should. This year's VMAs will hand out a Moon Person for "Best Metaverse
Performance," but there's no word on whether the award will be received
virtually.

The nominees are Ariana Grande, BLACKPINK, BTS, Charli XCX, Justin Bieber,
and Twenty One Pilots. Yes, your faves have been performing in the metaverse.

Each artist put their own twist on their metaverse concert. Ariana Grande did
a space themed performance in Fortnite, while BLACKPINK's hyperrealistic
avatars brought their "pretty savage" essence to PlayerUnknown's
Battlegrounds (PUGB) Mobile. BTS sang their English-language chart-toppers
"Butter" and "Permission to Dance" on a stage in Minecraft where the boys'
boxy avatars attempted to recreate their signature dance moves. Meanwhile,
Charli XCX and Twenty One Pilots both opted for Roblox concerts. (It should
be noted that Charli XCX's performance was a result of her partnership with
Samsung.) And Justin Bieber put on a show in Wave, the virtual entertainment
platform.

And they aren't the only artists performing in the metaverse. Virtual and
metaverse concerts became popular during the pandemic when live, in-person
entertainment was put on hold. But online concerts and virtual performances
are here to stay, especially as the metaverse becomes more engrained with out
everyday lives.

Its acknowledgement at the VMAs suggests metaverse performances might even
become a mainstay of the music industry. Only time will tell.
