One Direction get ready, get dreamy, and get real in their VMA promo video. 

Remember when we brought you these insanely beautiful GIFs in honor of One Direction's VMA promo video? Well, the video is here, so in honor of their VMA performance, we'll remind you to check out these other beautiful GIFs and walk with us down a path of true 1D Stan-dom. See, as you sure know, not only did One Direction lock down two VMA nominations, but they're also performing live at the big show. And the clincher? It's their very first time taking the VMA stage.

Watch One Direction's VMA promo video after the jump. 

In the dreamy slo-mo promo video, We see One Direction backstage as they gear up for the VMAs. They ask: "Tonight, we take this stage for the first time. We're ready. Are you?" IS THAT EVEN A REAL QUESTION! Yes! Bring it, bros. We've been ready since our first listen to "What Makes You Beautiful" and our first look AT YOUR FACES. Good luck on the big day!
