MTV is about to bring a rockin’ night to the city that never sleeps! Following last year’s show in LA, the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will grace New York’s Radio City Music Hall before a live audience on September 13 at 9 pm. British bad boy comedian Russell Brand will once again host the iconic music show, and teen star Taylor Swift will perform hits off her multi-platinum album Fearless. “I’m so excited that MTV and the VMAs have invited me to perform, because I think this year’s show will be unlike anything they’ve ever done!” Taylor gushed.
