Katy Perry will be honored by MTV with this year’s VMAs Video Vanguard Award, the network announced Thursday, with the singer also set for a performance slot on the Sept. 11 Video Music Awards telecast.

She is set to perform some of her most popular songs — with her new song, “Lifetimes,” which was released last week, likely to be part of any medley. Her high-profile appearance will come nine days before Perry releases her new album, “143,” on Sept. 20.

Perry’s appearance will mark her first time on the show since 2017, when she collaborated with Nicki Minaj for that telecast’s finale.

“Katy is a musical powerhouse and a true pop culture icon,” said Bruce Gillmer, the president of music, music talent, programming and events for Paramount and chief content officer, music, for Paramount+. “With her groundbreaking creative vision, she has become a global phenomenon and has dominated the world’s largest stages. Katy’s skills will be on full display live at the VMAs with a must-see, career-spanning performance celebrating her biggest moments and chart-topping hits.”

Shakira received the award last year. Previous Video Vanguard Award recipients include Beyoncé, Minaj, Madonna, Rihanna, Janet Jackson, LL Cool J, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott and Michael Jackson, for whom it was named after for many years.

The network announced earlier this week that the 2024 MTV VMAs were being moved back by one day, with the understanding that it was to avoid a conflict with the presidential debate that was recently confirmed for Sept. 10.

Besides Perry, the artists who’ve been announced as performing at the show so far this year are Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro.

Taylor Swift leads this year’s nominations with 10, followed by Post Malone with nine; Ariana Grande, Eminem and Carpenter with six; Megan Thee Stallion and SZA with five; and Olivia Rodrigo, Lisa and Teddy Swims with four each.

The show will be broadcast from New York’s UBS Arena at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
