MTV VMAs 2024: Katy Perry Earns Most Iconic Performance Honor For Roar (2013)

As a lifelong fan of Katy Perry, witnessing her emotional acceptance speech at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards was a heartwarming moment that brought tears to my eyes. Her journey from a young artist with just 20 seconds on MTV to receiving ten minutes and the prestigious MTV Video Vanguard Award is nothing short of inspiring.


At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Katy Perry was awarded for the Most Memorable Performance. In an interview with MTV on the red carpet, she gratefully acknowledged her longtime fans for their unwavering support.

She got emotional while dedicating the win to her daughter, Daisy, whom she shares with actor, Orlando Bloom.

In a heartwarming moment, Perry was thrilled beyond measure as she received the Moon Man for Most Iconic Performance of 2013’s Roar. Her gratitude spilled over to her fans, the ‘KatyCats’, since these awards are decided by fan votes. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she exclaimed, “I might just cry!” During the September 11 ceremony, Perry ignited the stage with her outstanding performance. She soared through the air and glided with drones’ aid while singing her chart-topping hits.

As a devoted admirer, let me express my excitement in saying that I was honored to receive more than just one accolade that evening. Among them was the esteemed MTV Video Vanguard Award, bestowed upon me for the profound influence I’ve had on music and pop culture, an impact that has endured across decades.

Pondering over her Video Vanguard honor, she remarked, “It’s amazing to think this implies I’ve had supporters throughout my entire life. My loyal fans are turning out in numbers I’ve never seen before.

Perry went on saying, “Amazing to think I began on MTV with just 20 seconds, now I’ll have 10 minutes! Life certainly moves swiftly!

She offered some precious wisdom to her audience, considering her daily accomplishments, saying, “Make sure you’re here, in the moment, every day – it truly occurs.

Over time, Katy Perry, known as the Dark Horse singer, has amassed five Video Music Awards (VMAs). In 2011, she clinched the Video of the Year for her popular single “Firework”. Additionally, she shared wins for Best Collaboration and Best Special Effects with Kanye West for “E.T.” in the same year. The following year, she took home the award for Best Art Direction for “Wide Awake” (2012). In 2014, Perry also received the Best Female Video award for her collaboration with Juicy J on “Dark Horse”.
