The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 performances turned Sony Pictures Studios into pop’s most-watched runway on Sunday, October 18, with an all-women musical lineup that delivered live debuts, surprise wing reveals, and a closing act two decades in the making. Tate McRae, KATSEYE, Megan Moroney, and Megan Thee Stallion performed as models walked the runway at the Culver City venue, and the show streamed live on YouTube for the first time in its history, according to coverage from JustJared and People.

The pink carpet rolled out at 4 p.m. PT, with the show itself kicking off at 4:30 p.m. PT, and the brand also arranged theatrical screenings at AMC locations, Page Six reported. The performer lineup had been announced back on September 29 via Billboard, and it leaned all the way in: pop, K-pop-inflected global pop, country, and hip-hop, all on one stage.

Tate McRae’s Red-Hot Set Lit Up the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 Performances

Tate McRae owned the night’s biggest musical moment. The 23-year-old singer kicked off her set with the first-ever live performance of her new single “Housewife,” which she had dropped just days before the show, JustJared reported. She followed it with “Dear God” and “Sports Car” — a three-song run in a fiery red, lingerie-inspired look built around a corset, garters, and red heels.

In a recent interview with W magazine, McRae teased the performance by saying, “My body is my costume.” She also told the magazine she usually blacks out while performing, “but something comes through me,” adding, “I have one chance to do this correctly.” JustJared quoted both remarks in its coverage of the show, which you can read in full here.

McRae’s runway moment doubled as a genuine fashion-show moment: she shared the runway with Gigi Hadid, walking alongside the supermodel before receiving a pair of translucent red Angel wings for a solo strut. Earlier in the night, she hit the pink carpet in a black bra paired with a black maxi skirt featuring butterfly cut-outs and a hip-high slit, according to Page Six.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 Performances: KATSEYE Shut Down the Pink Section

KATSEYE brought the night’s biggest pop energy to the show’s Pink section. Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae performed two songs — opening with “Pinky Up” and following it with “Animal” — before closing out their time on stage with runway walks, according to JustJared.

Notably absent were original members Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza, both currently on hiatus from the group. Sophia’s hiatus was recently extended through January 2027, per JustJared. On the pink carpet, Megan told Entertainment Tonight the group is excited for Sophia’s return: “We’re so excited that [Sophia’s] coming back. We gave her all the time that she needs and we love her so much. So, we’re so happy for her.” Daniela, meanwhile, told ET’s Zanna Roberts Rassi that viewers could expect “a sexy show.”

KATSEYE’s performance arrived during a short break in the North American leg of their Wildworld Tour, and fans who missed it live can watch the group’s full set back on the Victoria’s Secret YouTube channel, starting at the one-hour-and-eight-minute mark.

Megan Moroney Got Her Wings — Literally

Country star Megan Moroney opened the evening’s musical slate in the night’s sweetest look: a glittering corset and miniskirt paired with baby pink, fluffy angel wings, The Zoe Report noted in its roundup of the show’s best moments. Moroney performed a three-song medley drawn from her third album, Cloud 9 — “6 Months Later,” “Wish I Didn’t,” and “Sorry… I Meant Tonight,” the latter a bonus track — according to JustJared.

The performance doubled as a hometown-victory lap of sorts: “6 Months Later” is a breakup anthem about getting over an ex only for them to come back when it’s too late, and Moroney has said she wrote the song on a boat. “Wish I Didn’t,” inspired by a real relationship that began flashing warning signs, arrived earlier this year with a music video featuring Dylan Efron.

Megan Thee Stallion Brought the Swagger

Megan Thee Stallion closed out the lineup with a high-energy set that capped the evening’s genre-hopping run. She had called the booking a “dream come true” when it was announced, telling fans to watch her “get my wings,” per Billboard’s reporting on the announcement. The full performer lineup was detailed by People ahead of the show.

The Night’s Other Big Moments

The performances shared the spotlight with a runway packed with returns and debuts. Bella Hadid opened the show looking, as The Zoe Report put it, “like a floral fairy straight out of a fantasy,” in beaded wings. Barbara Palvin returned to the runway reportedly weeks after giving birth to her first child — hello! magazine said “one month,” People reported six weeks — walking in a Barbie pink look with her husband, Dylan Sprouse, cheering her on.

Adriana Lima marked her 21st year on the VS runway and closed the show, while Nicole Kidman danced in the audience as models walked to Adéla’s hit song “Nicole Kidman.” The show also introduced Solange Omon, winner of the Angels Among Us casting call, who debuted in a black-and-white lace bra and panties with golden wings. The Fantasy Bra reportedly made a comeback, and Kylie Jenner donned angel wings of her own for the night.

Red carpet season, it seems, is in full swing — the Klara and the Sun premiere red carpet drew its own star-studded crowd just days earlier, and the InStyle Imagemaker Awards earlier this month also celebrated fashion’s biggest image-makers, with Charli XCX and Addison Rae among the honorees. But on Sunday night, all roads led to Culver City.
