Sam Smith will perform at the MTV VMAs this Sunday night, the network revealed Tuesday.

"Excuse me while I go shit myself in fear," the singer tweeted in response to the news. He is nominated for the video for "Stay with Me," which Variance readers earlier this month selected as our 2014 Song of Summer.

Smith is up against the likes of Pharrell, Eminem and Ed Sheeran for Best Male Video. He is also in the running for the MTV Artist to Watch title.

This year's VMAs performers so far include Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, Usher and 5 Seconds of Summer. Additional acts will be revealed throughout the week.
