Mariah CareyThe last achievement was far from being a fantasy.
After all, the “obsessed” singer accepted the highest success at the MTV Video Music Awards 2025 on September 7: Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
With more than three decades in the music industry, 16 solo studio albums and six victories in Grammy, Mariah was honored with the lifetime Achievement Award by Ariana Grande. With the singer winning her very first VMA this year for her song “Type Dangerous”, she had a special message for the prize show.
“I had only one question”, Mariah – who earned her first nine nominations in 1996 – Began. “What was in Sam’s hill did you expect?”
It was jokingly, however, with her quickly adding: “I’m kidding. I love you!”
While Mariah accepted the prize, she thought about her presence at the prize show, including her host presenting LL COOL J with her Vanguard Award in 1997 and opening the 1998 ceremony with a “false confrontation” with Whitney Houston.
