Khalid and Some Cheerleaders Were the Best Part of the VMAs Pre-Show

He played "Location" and "Young Dumb & Broke" in the minutes leading up to the show.

Beloved teen and Best New Artist nominee Khalid brought a couple of his best loved songs to the final moments of the VMAs pre-show earlier this evening. Accompanied by a crew of cheerleaders, he ran through a slow-motion medley of "Location" and "Young Dumb & Broke." You can check out that whole spirited performance below, but that likely won't be the last you see of him tonight. He's in a heated race for the fan-voted Best New Artist with Julia Michaels and at press time he's grabbed 69 percent of the vote, which also makes him the nicest New Artist.
