This year’s MTV Video Music Awards will be presented on September 11th. Katy Perry is already the winner.
Katy Perry (39) will receive a special honor at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards: She can look forward to the honorary award. As MTV announced in a press release, the musician will be honored with the Video Vanguard Award as “one of the most successful singers of all time.” The award is presented in memory of Michael Jackson (1958-2009), who is considered a pioneer in music videos.
In addition to her achievements in pop music, Perry, who has had worldwide hits with songs such as “I Kissed A Girl” and “California Gurls”, is also a philanthropist, according to MTV. She is, among other things, an ambassador for the UNICEF children’s charity. By winning the trophy, the American follows in the footsteps of singers such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Shakira, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez and Pink.
First appearance since 2017
The MTV Video Music Awards will be presented on September 11th in New York. Katy Perry, who has won a total of five awards at the event so far, will appear live at the awards show for the first time since 2017: Back then, she hosted the evening in person. In addition to her, performances by Camila Cabello, Sabrina Carpenter and GloRilla have been announced.
Taylor Swift with ten nominations
In addition to Katy Perry, pop phenomenon Taylor Swift (34) will almost certainly also be able to look forward to at least one award. She is in the running with a total of ten nominations, including in the categories of video, artist and song of the year. Through his collaboration with her and Morgan Wallen (31), rapper Post Malone (29) is also represented with a total of nine nominations.
Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Eminem also have a good chance of winning the MTV trophy with six nominations. They are followed by SZA and Megan Thee Stallion with five nominations each. The awards are given by viewer voting: fans can vote online for their favorite artist.
