MTV has introduced that Mariah Carey will obtain the Video Vanguard Award at the 2025 Video Music Awards. Not like many Video Vanguard winners—like Katy Perry, Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, P!nk, and Rihanna—Carey has by no means really gained a VMA, regardless of quite a few nominations. She’s nominated this yr, too, within the Greatest R&B class, for “Type Dangerous.”
The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards happen on Sunday, September 7, at Lengthy Island’s UBS Area—a becoming venue for the coronation of Huntington, New York, native Mariah Carey. The present is being hosted by one other native Lengthy Islander, Bay Shore’s LL Cool J—a becoming host as a result of Carey presented the Video Vanguard Award to him in 1997.
Carey will launch the brand new album Here for It All on September 26. The long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Caution will embody the singles “Sort Harmful” and “Sugar Sweet.”
