It's Katy Perry's world!
The "Teenage Dream" singer is set to receive MTV's iconic Video Vanguard Award at this year's Video Music Awards.
Beyoncé, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, JanetJackson, LL Cool J, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and Kanye "Ye" West have all received the award, which is named after Michael Jackson.
The controversial brainchild behind her recent "Woman's World" is bringing her pop comeback to the VMAs on Sept. 11. The five-time VMAs winner will also return to the award show's stage for the first time since 2017 when she hosted and performed her song "Swish Swish" with MTV fan favorite and rapper Nicki Minaj.
Perry released her new single, "Lifetimes," on Aug. 8 and her seventh studio album, "143," is slated to drop Sept. 20.

The MTV announcement also comes amid a tumultuous period for the pop star.
The Grammy-nominated "Firework" singer, 39, faced tough reviews for her lead single "Woman's World," the first song off her upcoming album and its accompanying music video. After the July 11 release, she defended the video in an Instagram post, telling fans it was intended as satire.
Katy Perry's new music videoinvestigated by Balearic Islands' environmental ministry
This week, controversy struck again. In a Tuesday press release written in Catalan, the Balearic Islands' Ministry of Agriculture said it's launched an investigation into the production for the "Lifetimes" music video because the production company allegedly failed to request authorization to film at Ses Salines Natural Park. Located between the islands of Ibiza and Formentera off the coast of Spain, the park is known for its sand dunes.
In a statement shared with USA TODAY Wednesday, a spokesperson for Capitol Records, Perry's music label, said: "The local video production company assured us that all necessary permits for the video were secured. We have since learned that one permit was in process, although we were given verbal authority to go ahead."
