Lady Gaga - with help from some of her Little Monsters -- has announced she'll be opening this year's MTV Video Music Awards.
"I have a really big announcement," The Edge Of Glory singer said, flanked by hundreds of fans in New York's Times Square Thursday. "But I thought as usual, instead of me announcing it, I'd let the Little Monsters do it for me."
At that point, her fans unfurled a huge banner that read: "GAGA TO OPEN VMAs!!!"
"It means the world to me," Gaga, 25, said of the gig. "I just feel really blessed every day. I have the most amazing fans."

Gaga won eight awards at last year's VMAs, the event she famously wore a dress made of meat to.
This year, she's up for four awards, including Best Female Video and Best Video With a Message for Born This Way; and Best Art Direction and Best Choreography for Judas.
