Pop superstar Katy Perry was honored with the prestigious Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, capping off the recognition with a powerful 10-minute medley performance that showcased her biggest hits spanning her entire career.
From chart-topping anthems like “Dark Horse,” “E.T.,” and “California Gurls,” to newer tracks like “I’m His, He’s Mine” from her latest album “143,” Perry delivered a captivating show that had the audience on their feet.
In a particularly touching moment, Taylor Swift, a fellow pop icon and past recipient of the Video Vanguard Award, gave Perry a standing ovation, demonstrating their mutual respect and camaraderie.
Perry spoke candidly about the meaning behind her new album’s title, “143,” revealing it to be her personal “angel number” that holds significant meaning. Inspired by a difficult medical period for her family, Perry shared that she began seeing the number 143 everywhere, a coincidence that led her to discover its hidden meaning: “I love you.”
“It was like my angels, my guides, saying, ‘I love you. We got you. We’re going to protect you. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be. You’re on the path,'” Perry explained, adding that she wanted to share this message of love with her fans. “I love the listener, and I want to gift them the love that I’ve received as best as I possibly can and help invite them into this kind of love frequency. It is a love frequency.”
