The 2026 lineup features four musical acts from different genres. Each brings a distinct style to the runway.
Megan Thee Stallion is a Grammy-winning rapper. She recently signed a distribution deal between Interscope and her Hot Girl Productions company. She told fans, “ACT III IS ON THEE WAY HOTTIES.”
Tate McRae is a Canadian pop singer. She delivered a headline set at Lollapalooza in August 2026. She has also been teasing a new era of music on Instagram.
Megan Moroney is a rising country star. Her album Cloud 9 hit No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart in March 2026. She is currently on her Cloud 9 Tour.
KATSEYE completes the lineup. The group kicked off their WILDWORLD Tour in Dublin on September 1, 2026. Their EP WILD gave them their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August 2026.
KATSEYE’s Rise to the Victoria’s Secret Stage
KATSEYE debuted in June 2024 under HYBE and Geffen Records. The group was formed through the audition program “The Debut: Dream Academy” in 2023. It is HYBE’s first girl group to debut in the United States.
The group has earned two Grammy nominations. These include Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Their single “Animal” ranked No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated October 3, 2026. It marked its ninth consecutive week on the chart. The song also climbed to No. 14 on the Pop Airplay chart, the highest position yet for any KATSEYE track.
KATSEYE’s WILD EP placed No. 33 on the Billboard 200 in the same week. Their previous EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, ranked No. 195 in its 65th week. The group is known for hits such as “Touch” (2024), “Gnarly” (2025), and “Gabriela” (2025).
Billboard noted that KATSEYE’s WILD made them one of the few all-female groups to top the Billboard 200 this decade. The other acts to achieve this were BLACKPINK with Born Pink in 2022, NewJeans with Get Up in 2023, and TWICE with With YOU-th in 2025.
Fan Reactions to KATSEYE Joining the Victoria’s Secret Lineup
Social media responses poured in shortly after the announcement. Fans shared excitement across Instagram, TikTok, and X.
“This lineup… URSELVES,” one user commented on the Instagram announcement.
“THANK YOUUUU OMG IM SAT,” another fan wrote.
“THAT A MAJOR LINE UP!!!” a commenter added.
Some fans noted that KATSEYE had been a popular request for the show. “I know Katseye has been an act that everyone has been asking for the show since Twice performed last year since a lot of people thought Katseye fit the vibe,” a fan posted on HallyuPlus.
The announcement comes as KATSEYE begins the American leg of their WILDWORLD Tour. Member Sophia Laforteza hopes to rejoin the group after a temporary hiatus for her mental health. Another member, Manon Bannerman, has been on hiatus since February 2026.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s Musical Legacy
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show began in 1995 and ran annually until 2018. The event was revived in October 2024. Since its return, the show has featured K-pop artists such as BLACKPINK’s Lisa in 2024 and TWICE in 2025.

This year’s show is being called “Fandemonium” by Adam Selman, EVP and Chief Creative Officer of Victoria’s Secret & PINK. Selman explained the vision in an interview with PEOPLE.
“I wanted this to be bigger and bolder than last year, and we couldn’t find a space in New York that could house all the things that we wanted to do,” Selman said. “It was a fun new challenge of like, okay, this is a different side of Americana and this sort of idea of the American dream, and I’m calling this year Fandemonium.”
The 2026 show will also feature a new Angel selected through open casting calls across the United States. The process is documented in the “Angels Among Us” docuseries, which is streaming now. The winning model will walk the runway on October 18.
