\n\tMariah Carey<\/a> will be the 2025 recipient of the Video Vanguard Award, given out annually as part of the MTV Video Music Awards<\/a>. The singer will also perform on the Sept. 7 telecast, which is airing on CBS for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers are promising a \u201cshow-stopping, career-spanning medley of her biggest hits\u201d as part of the three-hour show. <\/p>\n

\n\tLast year\u2019s Video Vanguard recipient\/performer was Katy Perry. The award has had a diva-heavy skew in recent years, with recipients in recent years also including Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, Pink and Rihanna. The last time the Video Vanguard Award went to a male performer was when Kanye West picked it up in 2015.<\/p>\n

\n\tNot surprisingly, just as Perry did last year, Carey has an album to promote that is due soon after the telecast \u2014 \u201cHere for It All,\u201d due out Sept. 26 on the Gamma label. Carey released the first single from the project, \u201cType Dangerous,\u201d in June, a song that is up for best R&B at this year\u2019s VMAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers are touting that this will be the first time Carey has performed on the VMAs stage in 20 years, when she did a medley to promote her then-new album \u201cThe Emancipation of Mimi.\u201d Also of note is that she presented this same award to LL Cool J back in 1997, which means there will be a reunion of sorts, as the veteran rapper is hosting the show this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther performers who have been announced for the show include Sabrina Carpenter, Ricky Martin (who will receive the VMAs\u2019 first-ever Latin Icon Award), Busta Rhymes, J Balvin, Alex Warren and Sombr.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe VMAs will air live in all time zones on CBS and MTV \u2014 as well as streaming live on Paramount+ \u2014 at 8 p.m. ET\/5 PT on Sept. 7 from New York\u2019s UBS Arena.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2025 show is being produced by Gunpowder & Sky, with Bruce Gillmer, Den of Thieves co-founder Jesse Ignjatovic and Barb Bialkowski as the telecast\u2019s executive producers. Alicia Portugal is co-executive producer; Jackie Barba is executive in charge of production; Wendy Plaut is executive in charge of celebrity talent; and Lisa Lauricella is executive in charge of music talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariah Carey will be the 2025 recipient of the Video Vanguard Award, given out annually as part of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,117,19,17,978,1246,337,1247],"class_list":{"0":"post-14707","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-mariah-carey","13":"tag-mtv-video-music-awards","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-vmas"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
