Update: Last week, ABC provided television press with a lineup that confirmed Iggy Azalea for the November 20 “Good Morning America.” The same confirmation appeared in listings issued to television providers.
Despite the listings, neither “Good Morning America” nor Azalea had confirmed the performance on their social media accounts. Speculation emerged, therefore, that the performance was no longer scheduled.
A “GMA” staffer seemingly confirmed that unfortunate news. Responding to a Thursday inquiry on Twitter, “GMA” social media editor Jeff Lowe wrote, “As of now she isn’t scheduled to perform tomorrow.”
When asked why she was originally listed, he responded, “probably was originally slated to perform. Scheduling changes a lot in tv.” He acknowledged that he had no further details on the situation.
While a surprise Azalea performance is certainly still possible, one should be aware of the possibility that the performance has been nixed.
