Crooner Bruno Mars will be sandwiched between two female power duos during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, we learned Thursday when MTV and the Barclays Center — the venue for this year's VMAs — went online to tease the seating chart and celebrity gift bags.

To Bruno's left will be Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, whom fans pitted against each other when their singles "Applause" and "Roar" arrived on the same day. To his right will be Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, who are known to dance along to performances at awards shows.

Barclays Center on Twitter notes Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke, artists who have two of the summer's most popular songs with "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines," will be rubbing shoulders in the audience. The pair are pitted against Gomez, One Direction, Daft Punk and Calvin Harris for the VMAs' social voting category, Best Song of the Summer.

Meanwhile, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake will experience the ceremony side by side, while the boys of One Direction will get a view of the back of their heads. British songstresses Ellie Goulding and Emeli Sandé will take in the show beside each other.

The VMAs will include performances from Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Justin Timberlake (possibly with 'N Sync), Bruno Mars and Drake.

Notably, the bags include the Kickstarter-backed Ouya gaming console.
