The American Music Awards are going to get a little monstrous. Today (Oct. 31), the AMAs announced four more performers for the genre crossing awards show, including Lady Gaga!

According to People, the "Do What U Want" megastar will take the stage at an American awards show for the second time on Nov. 24 in promotion of her new album Artpop. Previously, Gaga gave "Applause" its live debut at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, rocking a stringed seashell bikini and nothing else by the end of her career-spanning performance.

Always a spectacle (and even lodging over 260 complaints with her antics), Gaga is sure to bring in some viewers to the AMAs, which experienced a 20 percent drop in viewership last year, losing out to Sunday Night Football, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The 2012 AMAs sunk down to 9.47 million viewers, pulling in a historic low number.

Gaga won't be the only musical megastar to take the stage. Country superstar Luke Bryan, whose latest album Crash My Party spent two weeks atop the Billbord 200, will also take the stage. Keeping with the AMA theme of covering multiple musical formats, rappers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Kendrick Lamar will also perform.

The four artists announced today will join the always controversial Miley Cyrus and the massive boy band force that is One Direction, according to the AMA website.

Despite its claim to cover "all genres," no rock act has been announced for the 2013 AMAs.

The American Music Awards will air on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
