Mariah Carey to be Honored with the Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs Held at UBS Arena.
The Music Video Awards (VMAs) are set to return after a hiatus, with a star-studded event scheduled for September 7 at UBS Arena. The event will be broadcast live starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS, with a simulcast on MTV, and will also be streamed on Paramount+ in the U.S.
This year, the Video Vanguard Award will be presented to the legendary singer, Mariah Carey. The award, given to artists who have made significant contributions to music videos and popular culture, has been previously bestowed upon notable figures such as Katy Perry, Shakira, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Janet Jackson, LL COOL J, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, David Bowie, The Beatles, and director Richard Lester.
Carey's last performance at the VMAs was in 2005, where she performed "We Belong Together" from her multi-platinum 10th album "The Emancipation of Mimi." This year, she will perform a career-spanning medley of her greatest hits as part of her award acceptance.
The first-ever VMAs (1984) saw David Bowie, The Beatles, and director Richard Lester share the Video Vanguard Award. However, in the current format, the award is not shared with multiple recipients.
Voting for the VMAs is open until Sept. 5 for all categories except Best New Artist, which stays active into the show. To cast your vote, visit vote.mtv.com.
The VMAs aim to be bigger and better than ever in 2025. The categories for the VMAs have not been explicitly stated in the provided information. The 2025 VMAs will be hosted by LL Cool J, following in the footsteps of previous hosts such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna.
The VMAs have returned after a hiatus, marking an exciting comeback for one of the most anticipated events in the music industry. The event promises to honour and celebrate the work of those in the industry, making it a must-watch for music lovers everywhere.
