MTV’s highly acclaimed video countdown show TRL has been off the air for about six years, but the word is the show is heading back to TV in a matter of weeks thanks to one budding pop star. It was confirmed that ‘Problem’ singer Ariana Grande has landed her on TRL special titled ‘Total Ariana Live’ to assist in the promotion of her new album due this year and she will also premiere her new single ‘Break Free’ for the very first time! That’s not all, it is reported that the 30 minute special which will be hosted by Sway Calloway and airs at 7PM on July 2 will come with a major announcement as well. Could this be the permanent return of TRL to our airwaves???
Speaking on the event Ariana revealed:
It’s a huge honor to be able to bring back a show like TRL, I used to love watching it growing up. Can’t wait to celebrate with my loves in Times Square. Might have some surprises too.
Surrounded by a live studio audience, Ariana and Sway will discuss her highly-anticipated sophomore album and play fun music themed games that will put her musical skills and knowledge to the test. Additionally, it’s no secret that Ariana is big hip-hop fan, so MTV will test both her song knowledge and vocal ability in a game called “Hip Hop Mix Up.” Each round, she will spin two giant wheels: one with song title and one in vocal styles (like Country or Valley Girl) where will then have to sing the song in the chosen style.
