The moment seemingly paid homage to Janet Jackson\u2019s past performances.<\/p>\n<p>The singer was a late addition to the VMA performers lineup, with the appearance sparked in part by a grassroots social media campaign that demanded #LetNormaniPerform; she previously performed her song \u201cMotivation\u201d at the 2019 VMAs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know where to start with you guys,\u201d Normani tweeted to her fans after her VMA performance was announced. \u201cYou\u2019re my heart and soul and have always stuck by me through all the fucking adversities.
