Victoria’s Secret has revealed the musical lineup for its 2026 Fashion Show, adding a fresh layer of excitement to the annual fashion event.
On Tuesday, September 29, the brand announced that Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Moroney, Tate McRae and KATSEYE will perform during the show in Los Angeles on October 18.
The four performers will bring different sounds and audiences to the runway. The announcement arrives as fashion houses continue to blend runway presentations with entertainment, giving audiences more reasons to follow major shows beyond the clothes themselves.
Megan Thee Stallion will add hip-hop energy to the show, while Megan Moroney will bring her country sound. Tate McRae will represent contemporary pop, and KATSEYE will add a global pop presence.
Victoria’s Secret confirmed that the 2026 show will take place in Los Angeles, marking a move away from New York after the previous two editions were held there.
The show is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, and will begin at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time, or 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Fans around the world will be able to watch it through YouTube and Victoria’s Secret’s social media channels.
According to Adam Selman, Victoria’s Secret’s executive vice president and chief creative officer, the company wanted this year’s production to feel “bigger and bolder” than the previous edition.
He described the theme as “Fandemonium,” reflecting the company’s focus on its fans and the excitement surrounding the event.
Meanwhile, the performer announcement continues the show’s recent effort to place music at the center of its presentation.
Victoria’s Secret brought the fashion show back as a livestream in 2024 after the original event ended following its 2018 edition.
In 2024, the returning show featured Cher, BLACKPINK’s LISA, Tyla and Joan Jett. In 2025, the lineup included Missy Elliott, Karol G, Madison Beer and K-pop group TWICE.
This year’s all-female lineup continues that recent pattern while introducing four different acts to the stage.
The choice of performers also reflects the changing relationship between fashion and music. Major fashion shows increasingly use live performances to create moments that can travel beyond the runway.
As a result, artists can reach fashion audiences, while fashion brands can connect with music fans.
For Victoria’s Secret, that crossover can help the show generate attention across social media, entertainment platforms and fashion coverage.
Megan Thee Stallion is one of the most recognizable names in this year’s lineup. The Houston rapper has built a major career through hip-hop releases, performances and fashion appearances.
The rapper previously modeled her own swimwear designs at Miami Swim Week in 2025, making her upcoming Victoria’s Secret performance another link between her music and fashion work.
Tate McRae also brings experience across both industries. The Canadian singer and dancer has developed a reputation for combining pop music with choreography and performance.
Her presence at the Victoria’s Secret show fits naturally with a production that relies on movement, music and visual presentation.
Megan Moroney adds another dimension to the lineup. The country singer has built a growing audience with her music and distinctive style.
Her inclusion means the show will not rely solely on pop and hip-hop sounds. Instead, country music will have a place in the event’s musical program.
KATSEYE, meanwhile, represents the increasingly global nature of contemporary pop. The girl group has attracted attention through its international membership and K-pop-influenced approach to pop performance.
Its appearance also continues Victoria’s Secret’s recent relationship with Korean and Asian pop acts. TWICE performed at the 2025 show, while BLACKPINK’s LISA appeared in the 2024 edition.
The performers will join a model lineup that is also taking shape. Victoria’s Secret has confirmed several returning and established names, including Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Paloma Elsesser, Imaan Hammam, Anok Yai, Candice Swanepoel, Ashley Graham, Abby Champion, Alex Consani and Devyn Garcia.
Adriana Lima’s return has received particular attention. The Brazilian model is one of the best-known former Victoria’s Secret Angels and returned to the runway in 2025.
Her participation this year adds another connection between the brand’s earlier fashion-show era and its current format.
Victoria’s Secret has also introduced a weekly ticket opportunity through its social media channels, allowing fans to enter for a chance to attend the Los Angeles show.
The brand is also using its digital platforms to build interest before the main event.
With less than three weeks until the show, the performer announcement gives the 2026 edition a clearer identity. Fashion will remain at the center, but music, celebrity appearances, fan participation and digital viewing will all play important roles.
The Los Angeles setting also gives the production a different backdrop from the New York shows of the previous two years.
For viewers, the October 18 event this year will also offer a combination of runway fashion and live entertainment. For the performers, it provides a high-profile stage in front of a global audience.
And for Victoria’s Secret, the announcement adds another step in its effort to keep its fashion show relevant in a changing entertainment landscape.
As the countdown continues, more details about the models, outfits and production are expected to emerge.
However, the musical lineup is now clear. Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Moroney, Tate McRae and KATSEYE will headline the performances when Victoria’s Secret takes its show to Los Angeles on October 18.
The announcement makes the upcoming event one of the brand’s biggest fashion-and-entertainment moments of the fall.
The announcement has also sparked growing anticipation among fans who are eager to see how the performers will interact with the runway.
Their different musical styles could bring distinct moments to the show and create memorable performances for viewers.
