Beyoncé, MGK and other celebrities who skipped the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards
Among the faces missing from the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey on September 12, 2023, there were some big names. Beyoncé, mother of three, was nowhere to be found in the middle of her Renaissance World Tour. Nor did Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, whose wife Kourtney Kardashian recently underwent emergency fetal surgery while pregnant — a development that forced the musician to temporarily abandon his European tour with the band.
Hit singer Lizzo was nowhere to be seen at the party, amid an increasingly volatile legal battle with dancers who accused her of sexual harassment – an accusation that she describes it as “scandalous”. And Machine Gun Kelly (née MGK, née Colson Baker) also appears to have dropped out of the festivities, as he continues to work on his relationship withTransformers star Megan Fox after an earlier near-breakup. This year. Justin Bieber was also noticeably absent, leaving a space on the red carpet where his wife Hailey Bieber normally dazzled with a high fashion look.

However, the formerHannah Montana star did not show up, despite the appearance of her pal Selena Gomez who made an unexpected appearance on the iconic red carpet in a bodycon red dress with flowers with a deep slit.
And ultimately, Ariana Grande didn't show up – not surprising, given her controversial split from Dalton Gomez and alleged relationship with her co-star by Wicked, Ethan Slater. SZA also did not appear on the show.
Still, the show was notable for who showed up. Olivia Rodrigo wowed in a silver, Old-Hollywood style dress, and Shakira
