\n\tMTV has named Mariah Carey<\/a> its 2025 Video Vanguard Award recipient. The seven-time MTV Video Music Award <\/a>nominee will perform a medley of her biggest hits when the show airs live on CBS from UBS Arena in New York on Sept. 7. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe coveted award will be the first VMA the musician has received in her storied career. Carey is nominated this year in the Best R&B Video category for her action flick-themed video for \u201cType Dangerous.\u201d <\/a>It\u2019s her first nomination as a lead artist since she was up for Best Female Video for \u201cTouch My Body\u201d in 2008. Other highlight career moments, including \u201cShake It Off\u201d and \u201cWe Belong Together,\u201d earned nods over the years, but the Moonmen never made their way to her. <\/p>\n

\n

\n\tThe honor comes at a prime time for Carey, who will release her 16th studio album Here for It All<\/a> <\/em>on Sept. 26. The record marks her first since 2018\u2019s Caution<\/em>. Though she has largely kept details about the project under wraps, she did share another preview on her latest single \u201cSugar Sweet\u201d with Shenseea and Kehlani. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor her Video Vanguard Award performance, Carey has quite a few options. She could dominate the performance on her own, with plenty of solo hits to fill the space, but her collaborative well runs deep, too. There\u2019s Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men, Latto, Miguel, Jadakiss, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, and more who could join her for the set.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Carey similarly received her first-ever BET Award when she was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award. \u201cMy life and career have been quite the adventure,\u201d Carey said during her speech. \u201cIt took me a while, but I realized life is far too short to live for anyone else\u2019s approval.\u201d<\/p>\n
