Shakira will acquire the Video Vanguard Award at the 2023 MTV Movie Music Awards next thirty day period. Preceding recipients include Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Missy Elliott.
She will also execute on the VMA phase for the 1st time in 17 a long time.
The Colombian singer has received 4 VMAs throughout her vocation, starting off with her win in the Worldwide Viewer’s Choice (Latin America North) again in 2000.
This yr, she is nominated for 4 awards: artist of the 12 months, ideal collaboration (for “XQG,” with Karol G) and two noms in the greatest Latin group — for the exact same Karol G collab, and for her solo one, “Acróstico.”
“Shakira is a accurate international power who proceeds to inspire & affect the masses with her exceptional, musical prowess. She’s a trailblazer for women of all ages about the entire world & just one of the initial artists to direct the globalization of Latin tunes,” explained Bruce Gillmer, main material officer of songs at Paramount+ and president of songs, tunes expertise, programming and events at Paramount. “Her significant impression throughout the musical landscape will be long lasting as she continues to produce and entertain at the best amount.”
Taylor Swift tops the 2023 MTV Online video Songs Awards nominations. She leads with 8 — seven for her “Anti-Hero” tunes online video and a nod in the artist of the calendar year category — followed by SZA, who has six.
The VMAs will be held at the Prudential Centre in Newark, N.J., on Sept. 12.
Shakira isn’t really the biggest admirer of rats.
