Katy Perry is about to rock your socks off with the Video Vanguard Award! That’s right, the 39-year-old pop princess is not just getting a trophy to add to her collection of sparkles; she’s also bringing her entire musical circus to the 2024 MTV VMAs! Mark your calendars, because on Wednesday, September 11 at 8 p.m. ET, Katy’s going to turn the UBS Arena in New Jersey into her personal karaoke machine.
This is Katy’s grand comeback to the MTV stage after her epic 2017 showdown, where she hosted, performed, and tried to make “Swish Swish” the new national anthem with a little help from her friend Nicki Minaj. The 2024 VMAs will be a spectacle of epic proportions, featuring a medley of her greatest hits—think of it as the ultimate greatest-hits buffet with a side of confetti cannons.
Bruce Gillmer, the man in charge of everything that makes your ears happy, said it best: “Katy’s not just a musical powerhouse; she’s a pop culture hurricane with a glittery eye for the dramatic. She’s conquered stages worldwide like a pop diva tornado, and her VMA performance is going to be an unstoppable force of awesomeness.”
In case you’re wondering, past Video Vanguard recipients have included legends like Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliot, Jennifer Lopez, P!nk, and Rihanna. So, Katy Perry’s name is about to join this glittering roster, and trust us, you don’t want to miss it!
