They are absolutely perfect for MTV. We're perfect for them at this particular stage in their career." [4] He further stated that "their brand and ours is so similar in that we're music, but we're also more than that, we're celebrity pop culture. They're all about design and style and fun, but they've been pop and rock. They're just so well matched with MTV as a brand". The Veronicas: Blood Is for Life premiered on MTV on 10 November 2019.
