Keke Palmer Took Over 10 COVID-19 Tests Ahead Of Hosting MTV VMAs 2020

Keke Palmer rocks a high top knot and silver dress for her duties as host at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, which aired on Sunday (August 30).

The 27-year-old actress just recently revealed the precautions she took in order to host the award show in the time of a pandemic.

“I’ve had well over 10 — [it’s] constant COVID testing every two days,” Keke shared in a recent interview with THR.

She added that “this is being done so differently,” and notes that rehearsals were done over Zoom and her glam squad has been wearing masks and clear face shields.

“If you are planning on doing something like this, we have to be on strict guidelines. I just want to do what we need to do to get it done — I’m willing to jump through hoops. I think we need entertainment right now. It’s what I do and what I love,” Keke shared.
