As part of the new generation of pop stars following in Britney's footsteps, Demi Lovato is pretty excited to see how the icon will be honored on Sunday night.
"Who isn't a Britney Spears fan?" Lovato asked, just days before the show goes live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. "My favorite Britney Spears song is 'I Wanna Go,' 'cause it's the latest song that she has and I love it."
Since Spears first took the VMA stage back in 1999, alongside 'NSYNC, she's managed to rack up five performances and take home four Moonmen, the first of which was back in 2008, over 11 years after her first appearance on the show. At this year's show, she's up for two awards for her video for "Till The World Ends," Best Pop Video and Best Choreography.
Demi has a simpler reason for a Britney tribute: " 'Cause she's the ultimate pop star; nobody can touch her," Lovato said. "She's been around for such a long time now and she's the epitome of pop. So when I think of pop music, I think of her."
While Demi is gushing about Brit's long pop career, she's poised to launch the next phase of her own. She will drop her album Unbroken next month. Its lead single, "Skyscraper," rocketed to the top of the charts when it was released earlier this summer. Read more on MTV
