— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) July 20, 2015

Dit jaar is de presentatie in handen van Miley Cyrus en dat na haar twerk-incident van twee jaar geleden! Ze is al sinds haar Hannah Montana-tijd, trouwe aanwezige bij de awardshow. Miley gaf in 2013 het legendarische en verpletterende 'twerk-optreden' op de zomerhit 'Blurred Lines' met Robin Thicke. De organisatie wilde Miley daarom liever niet meer op het podium zien. Maar Miley wilde er koste wat het kost bij zijn; dus dan maar niet zingend, maar als host. De laatste keer dat de VMA's gehost werden, was in 2012. Dus na 2 host-loze-edities komt er weer een presentatrice terug: Miley Cyrus...
