Katy Perry (39) Set to Get Unique Recognition at MTV Video Music Awards

Katy Perry is all set to receive a special acknowledgment at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. She will be presented with the Video Vanguard Award, as announced by MTV. This honor is reserved for highly influential singers like Perry, who has made a significant impact on the music scene with hits such as "I Kissed A Girl" and "California Gurls".

The award is in remembrance of Michael Jackson, a pioneer in the field of music videos. Previous recipients of this prestigious award include artists like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Shakira, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, and Pink. Perry's philanthropic work also adds to her credibility, having served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

The MTV Video Music Awards are scheduled for September 11 in New York. Perry, who has bagged five awards at the event before, will make her first live appearance since 2017. Alongside her, performers like Camila Cabello, Sabrina Carpenter, and GloRilla will entertain the audience.

Taylor Swift Conquers Nominations

Pop superstar Taylor Swift (34) is expected to bag at least one award with a whopping ten nominations across various categories such as Video, Artist, and Song of the Year. Rapper Post Malone (29), who collaborated with Swift and Morgan Wallen (31), is close behind with nine nominations.

Other artists with multiple nominations include Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem with six nominations each. SZA and Megan Thee Stallion wrap up the list with five nominations each. The once-in-a-year awards will be determined by fan votes, allowing viewers to cast their favorite artists online.

Katy Perry's recognition at the MTV Video Music Awards comes with a special price, as the Video Vanguard Award is traditionally given to musicians with a significant impact on the music industry. Fans can vote for their favorite artists, including Sabrina Carpenter, to determine the winners, with prices for each category decided by the fan votes.
