A night dedicated to the Colombian star Shakira: that is what is experienced at the 2023 VMAs, where the Colombian will receive the Video Vanguard Award, an award that recognizes the artist’s influence on “MTV culture”; all thanks to her lyrics, her songs, and of course, the videos that have appeared so many times on the famous channel.
The Barranquilla native’s show, which she herself anticipated will take about 10 minutes, will be a summary of her more than 20 years of musical career.

“This award has been won by Michael Jackson once and by other incredible artists,” said the Colombian in advance of the ceremony that takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
The Colombian assured that the creativity that her followers have known in these two decades of career has been captured in each video: “The videos are a way of expressing what I originally intended with my lyrics, which are very powerful.”
Regarding his presentation tonight, he assured that he “tried to synthesize” his 20 years of career in just 10 minutes. “I did my best. I think it will be very dynamic, I hope it won’t be too long.”
Shakira is one of the women with the most nominations in this edition of the awards, with presence in four categories, one of them being artist of the year. With this she becomes the first South American, and the second Latina, to receive the Video Vanguard Award, VMA, from MTV.
An award that will be accompanied by a live presentation during the Prudential Center ceremony and that has also historically been in the hands of women since 2016, when Rihanna won it; In 2017 it was P!nk’s turn; 2018, Jennifer Lopez; 2019, Missy Elliott and 2022, Nicki Minaj. Given the pandemic, neither in 2020 nor in 2021 was the recognition awarded.
