Pop icon Katy Perry was honored with the prestigious Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday night, September 11. The award recognizes Perry’s lasting impact on music and her innovative approach to music videos.
Perry’s acceptance speech was as memorable as her performance. After a medley showcasing her career-defining hits including “Dark Horse,” “E.T.,” and “Firework,” Perry revealed that she performed the entire set on her first day of her period. She went on to thank MTV for embracing her “weirdness” and declared that her success was no accident.
Adding to the excitement, Perry shared the stage with fellow artist Doechii for the debut performance of their new single “I’m His, He’s Mine,” a track from Perry’s upcoming album “143.” The duo’s electrifying performance featured suggestive dancing, including a moment where their lips nearly touched.
With the Video Vanguard Award, Perry becomes the first artist to have hosted the VMAs and received both of the show’s top honors. She previously won Video of the Year for “Firework” in 2011. “143,” Perry’s sixth album, is set to drop on September 20, marking her first LP release since 2020’s “Smile.”
The performance and the award solidify Perry’s status as a pop music powerhouse, leaving fans eager for the release of her new album.
