As if the list of this woman’s accolades needed to get any longer (5 solo #1 albums, Billboard Millennium Award, 2013 Superbowl Halftime Performer, voted People Mag’s Most Beautiful Woman, 16-time Grammy Award Winner… and the list goes on), Beyoncé can now add to her hefty list The Michael Jackson VMA Video Vanguard Award winner. This award is awarded to an artist who has, for years, been captivating audiences and the world with some of the most buzzed about and most iconic videos. She joins a list of pop’s elite performers including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and last year’s recipient, Justin Timberlake. Not to mention, she leads the VMA pack with 8 VMA nominations this year, including Video of the Year (an award she has won once before for Single Ladies) for her top-ten hit Drunk In Love featuring her rapper-mogul husband, Jay Z. Such an amazing fete for such an extraordinary artist.
MTV also broke the news that Bey will be making a return to the VMA stage after a 3 year hiatus (remember 2011, when she debuted her baby bump and when Blue Ivy was nothing but a fetus?). She will be joining show-opener Usher, Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, 5 Seconds of Summer and many more. The big question is, what will the Flawless Diva perform? Will it be Drunk In Love? Partition? Or will it be the remix of Flawless? Tune in to the broadcast and watch Queen Bey murder the stage.
