Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 performances: Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, KATSEYE and Megan Moroney take over the runway
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned to Los Angeles with an all-female musical line-up led by Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, KATSEYE and Megan Moroney.
Held at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City on Sunday, 18 October, the 2026 show used live music to move through a runway inspired by the changing seasons.
Each performer brought a distinct genre and visual identity to the production, transforming the catwalk into a pop, country and hip-hop showcase, writes Music News Blitz’s Anna Ferraz.
Tate McRae brings pop energy to the runway
Tate McRae delivered one of the night’s most energetic performances with a three-song set featuring “Sports Car”, “Dear God” and her new single “Housewife”.
The Canadian singer matched the show’s bold aesthetic in a red corset, garter belt and heels, complete with a matching microphone and flowing tulle wings.
The models walked around McRae as she combined live vocals with the sharp choreography that has become central to her pop performances.
Gigi Hadid joined the runway during McRae’s set, creating one of the evening’s biggest model-and-musician crossover moments.
KATSEYE lead the Victoria’s Secret PINK segment
Global girl group KATSEYE brought a playful edge to the show’s PINK section with a performance of Pinky Up, taken from their EP Wild.
Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae Jeong represented the group onstage, while Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza remain absent from performances.
Wearing coordinated black-and-pink corsets, miniskirts, fishnet stockings and body chains, the members leaned into the youth-focused energy of the iconic PINK collection.
Their choreography and group chemistry made the performance feel like a natural extension of the runway rather than a separate musical interlude.

Megan Moroney makes her Victoria’s Secret debut
Country singer Megan Moroney made a dramatic entrance with a glittering guitar and oversized fuzzy pink wings.
Moroney performed a medley of “6 Months Later”, “Wish I Didn’t” and “Sorry… I Meant Tonight”.
Her appearance brought a country-pop contrast to the otherwise dance-heavy line-up, while her floor-length pink gown and platform heels kept the performance within the show’s larger fantasy aesthetic.
Megan Thee Stallion closes with power
Megan Thee Stallion brought the show to a high-energy close with “Her” and “Body”.
The rapper appeared in a futuristic silver ensemble featuring metallic wings, a shimmering bra, fishnets and silver heels.
Her commanding stage presence gave the final runway section a confident, celebratory finish.
Rather than treating its performers as background entertainment, the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show allowed each artist to shape a different chapter of the production.
From Moroney’s country storytelling and KATSEYE’s polished group choreography to McRae’s dance-pop special and Megan Thee Stallion’s powerful finale, the music became as central to the night as the fashion itself.
