Megan Thee Stallion is getting her wings. The Houston rapper has announced that she will perform at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, bringing her high-energy stage presence to the Los Angeles edition on October 18.
Calling the appearance a “dream” come true, Megan shared a 15-second promotional clip featuring black-and-white footage of her dancing, fishnet stockings and lingerie. Pink graphics repeatedly flash her name alongside “PERFORMING LIVE,” before the video confirms the show’s date and details.

Megan Thee Stallion will perform live from Los Angeles as Victoria’s Secret continues the modern revival of its signature fashion event. The 2026 show will stream live on YouTube at 4:30 p.m. PT, with returning models including Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima among the names attached to this year’s production.
The announcement places Megan in a long line of major pop and R&B performers who have appeared on the Victoria’s Secret runway. Music became a central part of the event in 2001, when Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli performed, with later editions featuring Destiny’s Child, Justin Timberlake, the Spice Girls, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd and Harry Styles.
The show’s return has also created a new chapter for its musical lineup. After the original event was canceled following the 2018 edition amid declining ratings and criticism surrounding its presentation and beauty standards, Victoria’s Secret brought the fashion show back as a livestream in 2024. That edition featured Cher, BLACKPINK’s LISA, Tyla and Joan Jett, while the 2025 lineup included Missy Elliott, Karol G, TWICE and Madison Beer.
For the 2026 edition, the move from New York to Los Angeles adds another change to the revived format. The event continues to feature elaborate wings, runway production and musical performances while expanding its casting beyond the narrower model roster associated with the show during its peak television years.
Megan’s appearance also arrives during a significant period in her own career. In August, she announced a distribution partnership between her Hot Girl Productions imprint and Interscope Records, confirming that Act III, the third chapter of the project that began with her self-titled 2024 album, is on the way.
