Bailey Zimmerman tells ET's Denny Directo he wore a plain black tank top to the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards because he's a country artist and he just wanted to keep things simple. The double nominee says he feels blessed to be there and was surprised to even get the nominations. He tells ET he grew up watching the VMAs and says, to have success in his genre is one thing, but getting to perform at the VMAs is a blessing. He tells us he's been kind of celebrating all week and plans to party with buddy The Kid Laroi, but first he has to get through the awards!
