It’s been six years since the last episode of MTV’s “Total Request Live” aired, a show that epitomized teen years for millennials. In its early days, it was a time before YouTube, when you had to tune in live to watch your favorite music videos and when world premieres were actually a monumental moment.
Thanks to one pop star, the music countdown series is returning for one more episode, according to the network. On what will be called “Total Ariana Live,” Ariana Grande will perform her hit song “Problem” and debut her new single “Break Free” on Wednesday, July 2. So, it’s not exactly “TRL” as we once knew it.
The 30-minute special will take place at the iconic Times Square studio where Grande and Sway (SWAY!) will talk about her upcoming second album and make a special announcement. Our guess is that she’ll surprise the audience with free ice cream, à la Mariah Carey in 2001.
