1. Super Host: All eyes will be on Gigi Hadid who is expected to host tonight's awards show. While fans may know her as a supermodel and social media queen, we can't help but point out all of her cameos in a few familiar music videos. Perhaps Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood," Zayn Malik's "Pillowtalk" and Calvin Harris' "How Deep Is Your Love" ring a bell?

2. Red Carpet Ready: It's not an awards show without some unpredictable fashion. In addition to some of music's biggest names, stars like Amber Rose, Hailey Baldwin, Shay Mitchell and Lucy Hale will be walking the red carpet in world-famous designer looks.  And if you're looking for some eye candy, Shemar Moore and Tyler Posey may just do the trick.

3. Grab the Mic: An impressive ten acts will be performing on the MMVAs stage for the very first time this year. As for who fans are most excited to see, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are slated to take the stage as well as a collaboration between Hailee Steinfeld and Shawn Hook. Speaking of Shawn, ladies will be excited to know Shawn Mendes is also performing live. Music to our ears!

4. Dynamic Duo: Just a couple of days after fans went crazy over a photo of Nick Jonas and Camila Cabello, the pair will reunite at tonight's awards show. The former Jonas Brothers member will perform a track from his new solo album Last Year Was Complicated while Camila will sing with the ladies of Fifth Harmony. They say they're just friends, but fans will be watching.

5. And the Winner Is: Perhaps the biggest award to look out for Sunday evening is the prestigious Video of the Year. Alessia Cara's "Here" and Drake's "Hotline Bling" are the two front runners. You can't underestimate, though, the power of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Belly and Grimes are also nominated in the category.
