"To be performing and nominated at this years VMA's is completely amazing and especially for the song 'Dog Days.'

"For this song to be recognized at such an iconic event is a total dream. For me 'Dog Days' symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, Chaotic freedom and running really really fast with your eyes closed. I hope to somehow encapsulate those things in my performance at this years VMA's. I would also hugely like to thank everyone at the VMA's for giving me this opportunity."
