Katy Perry to receive Video Vanguard Award at 2024 MTV VMAs

NEW YORK (AP) — Katy Perry will accept the Video Vanguard award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards next month. She will also perform.

Previous recipients include Shakira, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Missy Elliott.

Perry will return to the MTV VMAs stage for the first time since 2017, when she performed and hosted the awards show.

The pop singer has won five VMAs throughout her career. Her first three awards came in 2011: video of the year (“Firework”), best collaboration and best special effects (both for “ET,” with Kanye West).

“Katy is a musical powerhouse and a true pop culture icon,” said Bruce Gillmer, Chief Music Content Officer for Paramount+ and President of Music, Music Talent, Programming and Events for Paramount. “With her groundbreaking creative vision, she has become a global phenomenon and taken over the world’s biggest stages.”

Taylor Swift leads the 2024 VMA nominations with 10 nods — eight for her “Fortnight” music video and nominations in the artist of the year and best pop categories. She’s followed by her “Fortnight” collaborator Post Malone, who has nine. He’s nominated alongside Swift eight times and earned his ninth nomination for his country hit “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.

The 2024 MTV VMAs will air live on September 11 at 8 p.m. ET from the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. Fan voting begins online Tuesday in 15 gender-neutral categories and ends August 30.

Voting in the Best New Artist category will remain active throughout the show.
