Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026: KATSEYE and Megan Moroney face backlash for obstructing models on runway

KATSEYE and country singer Megan Moroney faced criticism from viewers during the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after fans questioned their positioning during performances at the star-studded event in Los Angeles on October 18.

The annual show, streamed live on Victoria’s Secret’s YouTube channel and social media platforms, featured performances from Tate McRae, KATSEYE, Megan Moroney and Megan Thee Stallion as established and emerging models took to the runway.

Moroney attracted criticism after viewers claimed her stage position obstructed models walking the catwalk.

One social media user described her as "getting in the way" of the models, while another commented, "In the first clip it looks like she did it on purpose."

Another X user alleged that the country star "almost knocked a Victoria Secret model off the stage". Others questioned the camera direction and her positioning during the performance.

KATSEYE also faced backlash over its performance of “Pinky Up” during the VS Pink segment.

Fans criticised the group's positioning, claiming it obstructed US women's soccer star Trinity Rodman's path on the runway.

The four active members performing at the show were Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae Jeung, with Manon and Sophia remaining on hiatus.

Their coordinated outfits featured corset tops, mini skirts and distinctive accessories inspired by the VS Pink aesthetic.

Moroney performed “6 Months Later”, “Wish I Didn’t” and “Sorry… I Meant Tonight”, tracks featured on her third studio album, Cloud 9.

Despite the online criticism, the show delivered several headline moments, including Kylie Jenner's runway appearance in the brand's Fantasy Bra, alongside returning models Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.
