Katy Perry is set to receive the prestigious Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards next month. The acclaimed pop star will also deliver a stellar performance featuring a medley of her most iconic hits during the live ceremony on September 11, taking place at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Last year’s recipient, Shakira, joined a celebrated group of honorees that includes superstars like Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Madonna, Rihanna, Missy Elliott, and Britney Spears.
Recently, Perry made waves in the music scene with her comeback single “Woman’s World,” which was released last month alongside the announcement of her upcoming studio album, 143. The new track “Lifetimes” was launched last week, and 143 is scheduled to drop on September 20, marking Perry’s first full-length album release since Smile in 2020.
Perry first graced the MTV VMAs stage in 2009, collaborating with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry for a live rendition of “We Will Rock You.” She took home her first three Moon Person awards in 2011, recognized for her collaboration with Kanye West on “E.T.” and her massive hit “Firework.” Her most recent appearance at the VMAs was in 2017, where she not only hosted the event but also performed “Swish Swish” with Nicki Minaj.
Earlier this month, the nominees for the 2024 VMAs were announced, with Taylor Swift leading with an impressive 10 nominations, closely followed by Post Malone with nine. Other multiple nominees include Ariana Grande, Eminem, Megan Thee Stallion, SZA, and Olivia Rodrigo, while Sabrina Carpenter is making her VMAs debut with six nominations.
The lineup of performers for the 2024 ceremony includes Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, Glorilla, Rauw Alejandro, and Sabrina Carpenter, with more artists to be unveiled in the weeks ahead.
