Taylor Swift may be spending most of her time in New York these days, but she'll be heading west at the end of next month.

I've just learned that the pop music superstar will perform at this year's MTV Video Music Awards in L.A.!

Swift is planning an "explosive" performance for the Moonman extravaganza, one source said.

Exact details are being kept under wraps, but I do know that Swift will be hitting the stage by herself. "It's not a collaboration with another singer," the source said.

So will Taylor be debuting a new song? We sure hope so!
