The Video Vanguard Award Will Go To Shakira At The VMAs:
Things like hips, movies, and tax audits don’t lie. And now, the truth is that Shakira will receive the Video Vanguard Award at this year’s Video Music Awards.
On top of her four VMA wins as well as a great year that included her popular BZRP Music Sessions performance, this is a big step for her career.
It also means that the Colombian star is the first Vanguard winner from South America. Shakira will perform at the VMAs for the very first time in 17 years thanks to her win.
She will do a lot of belly dancing, and her friend Karol G, who is also playing, might even show up. And, hey, it’s a good thing that there won’t be any gains to tax.
