Overview
- Raye made her VMAs performance debut on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, opening with “I Will Overcome” before moving into her hit “Where Is My Husband!” during the live broadcast at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
- The set featured a six‑piece string section and more than a dozen additional musicians to create an expanded live arrangement that reworked the single for a big‑stage presentation.
- A recorded interlude from Raye’s grandmother was woven into the performance to add a personal narrative moment and connect the live show to the song’s studio version.
- She arrived on the red carpet in a Georges Hobeika couture gown and performed barefoot onstage, a recurring choice she says helps her feel rooted while singing.
- The appearance capped a strong 2026 run for Raye that includes a March sophomore album, a No. 11 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 for “Where Is My Husband!,” two VMA nominations, and a later televised tribute performance to George Michael.
