Mariah Carey is all set to receive this year's Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs. In addition to the award reception, Carey will also be performing at the 2025 Video Music Awards, which will be aired on September 7. The five-time Grammy winner will receive the prestigious award weeks before the release of her new album, Here For It All, which is dropping on September 26.
The Vanguard Award was established in 1984 to honor the achievements of artists and directors in the field of music. The accolade was renamed after the legendary pop icon Michael Jackson in 1991. Now, the Touch My Body artist will lift the coveted moon person trophy this year. Following the announcement, fans of Carey started congratulating her.
"Finally getting the recognition she deserves! The Vanguard is long overdue for a legend like Mariah. Markets might not get it, but her cultural impact is priceless. Congrats to the Queen!" a netizen reacted.

The singer has sold over 220 million albums. Carey's 19 single tracks had climbed up to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 list. The fans of the singer expressed their excitement as the announcement of the Vanguard Award became public, saying that Carey truly deserves this award.
