Next month at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, Shakira will be honored with the Video Vanguard Award. This accolade has been given to many music icons in the past, such as Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Missy Elliott.
Shakira, the world-renowned musical artist, will receive the esteemed Video Vanguard Award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and will perform on the VMA stage for the first time in 17 years. Having already won four VMAs, including the International Viewer’s Choice (Latin America North) in 2000, Shakira’s talent and impact on the music industry continues to be recognized and celebrated.
In the current year, she has received nominations for four prestigious awards. These include the artist of the year, the best collaboration award for her work with Karol G in “XQG,” and two nominations in the category of best Latin music. One nomination is for her solo single “Acróstico,” while the other is for the collaboration with Karol G.
According to Bruce Gillmer, chief content officer of music at Paramount+ and president of music, music talent, programming, and events at Paramount, Shakira is a remarkable global icon who never fails to inspire and influence her fans worldwide with her exceptional musical talents. She’s a role model for women across the globe and one of the pioneers who paved the way for Latin music’s globalization. Gillmer believes that Shakira’s significant impact on the music industry will continue to be felt for years to come as she consistently creates and entertains at the highest level.
