This year’s recipient of the legendary Video Vanguard Award will be Katy Perry.

‘Katy is a musical powerhouse and true pop culture icon,’ said Bruce Gillmer, chief content officer of music at Paramount+ and president of music, music talent, programming and events at Paramount in a statement.

‘With her game changing creative vision, she has become a global phenomenon and taken over the world’s biggest stages,’ added Gillmer.

Past winners of the Video Vanguard Award include David Bowie, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and Pink.

The award comes as Perry prepares to release her upcoming seventh studio album 143.

Her comeback single from the album, Woman’s World, flopped in the charts following its release over the summer.

As for accolades, Taylor Swift is the most-nominated artist at the event with an impressive 10 nods to her name.

The hitmaker, 34, has the chance to make history as she could become the first artist to win Video Of The Year five times. She already holds the record for most Video of the Year victories with four trophies under her name.

Her collaboration with Post Malone, the track Fortnight, is up for Video of the Year.

Post Malone trails Taylor by just one nomination as he has earned nine total with most of them being from their collaboration.

The one nomination he received without Taylor’s assistance was for Best Collaboration for I Had Some Help, his track with Morgan Wallen.

Also up for six nominations are Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem.

Like Megan Thee Stallion, SZA is up for five nominations.

Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo, Teddy Swims, and Blackpink member Lisa all tied with four nods each.

Finally Benson Boone, Anitta, Dua Lipa, Tyla, Bleachers, and GloRilla all have three nominations.
