The rumors are true and it’s official Miley Cyrus is hosting the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, set to air live August 30 at 9 p.m.

In typical Miley fashion, she announced her big news by dressing up as an alien and wearing a sandwich board that reads “MTV WON’T LET ME PERFORM” on one side and “SO I’M HOSTING THIS YEAR’S VMA’S” on the other.

At just just 15, Miley attended he first VMAs in 2008. She was nominated for Best New Artist and was up against Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. She’s had quite the history with this award show since then. Last year, she made headlines when she graciously offered up her acceptance speech time to her homeless date, Jesse Helt, who explained the plight of homeless youth in L.A. That moment sparked the creation of Miley’s Happy Hippie organization, which gives support services to those in need.

And, as you might remember, Miley’s 2013 VMAs were marked by the twerk seen ’round the world, when she danced with Robin Thicke and a giant foam finger. Never forget.

We can only imagine the amazing antics she’ll pull this year.
