"We're going to have a great show... a lot of fun and get to watch amazing performances, so I'm very, very excited,"
Zendaya said about being named this year's host. "Plus, I'm nominated again for artist with the best style (You're So Fancy! - Artist With The Best Style), so I better wear a good outfit!"
