I wonder how MTV VMA awards voting work or who votes if its the same as Grammys where songwriters, producers, artists, industry employees vote or is it online voting or does MTV have a committee.

Regardless, I know the Vanguard award is for music videos and Katy certainly has high budget, colorful, music videos since 2010-2024. So congratulations to Katy Perry! 👏

It works with money

MTV clearly doesn't want ratings this year. Katy has tanked at every turn. 

[A Very Gaga Holida 19,412]

Yeah she definitely deserves it

She had a quite a few disasters though

[Anderson123 33,967]

So that's where the budget for payola went to. Truly an innovator and chameleon getting the Vanguard Award.

As much as I want Gaga to win this award at some point, I think Katy deserves to receive hers first.

Music videos have always been a strong point for Katy.  While Gaga certainly has iconic ones, the only one that was iconic in the last decade was 911.  Even if Katy has a so-so song, chances are it will have a great music video (look at literally any single from Witness).  During COVID, Katy still pushed the boundaries with visuals for Smile, and while she was pregnant!

I’m not the biggest Katy fan, but she deserves this.  I also think she might use this as an opportunity to announce the release of her professionally filmed release of “PLAY” (which I also have to say looks amazing).

A chameleon? More like a snake.

[BULATIO 1,635]

just vanguard, not triconic award 

[palma 7,148]

not trisha presenting it to her 

[lasagna 2,256]

everybody else must have refused to show up because theres no way she was their first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eigth ninth or even tenth choice

[NATAH 38,550]

am i the only one that DOESN'T want Gaga buying this award? it really feels like it's become too associated with throwback acts who desperately need a spotlight moment for their underperforming album

[jacs vs looser 3,107]

Well, she deserves it. Besides, the timing makes a lot of sense, given how the only card she's got left to try and rekindle the GP's interest is to remind them of her past glory days.

[Anderson123 33,967]

They gave this to Nicki 2 years ago lol they really are just giving it to anyone now.
