Katy Perry was celebrated in a big way at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards as she received the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. This award recognizes artists who have made an indelible impact on the music video landscape, and Perry’s career certainly fits the bill.

Before accepting the honor, Perry lit up the stage with a medley of her most iconic hits, including “Roar,” “Firework,” and “I Kissed a Girl.”

The Video Vanguard Award is one of the highest honors at the VMAs, and Perry joins the ranks of past recipients like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake, all of whom have left their mark on both music and visual art.
