One Direction at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013? Brand Addresses Performance Rumors
Victoria's Secret released a statement recently debunking a United Kingdom report that said One Direction will perform at the brand's annual fashion show.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held November in New York City. A source reportedly told The Sun that the boy band is slated to perform during the runway show, which last year hosted musical performances by Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber.
"Their global superstar status will be solidified with this booking," a source told the publication. "Bigwigs at the Victoria's Secret and the television network CBS, which broadcasts the show, have been having meetings with the band and management. It's being said they pretty much have it in the bag as they were sold on their personalities."

"The recent reports regarding One Direction appearing in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show are untrue. The band is not performing in this year's show. We will announce our artists in early October."
One Direction's representative also denied the claims by saying there is no truth to the story, the news report noted.
