Mariah Carey: Pop Icon's Triumphant 2025 VMAs, Vegas & Album Comeback at 56
Mariah Carey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Mariah Carey is enjoying a career-defining spotlight this week as MTV has chosen her to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, set for September 7 in New York according to multiple major outlets including AOL and Billboard. At 56, Carey is the oldest and eighth consecutive female recipient of this legendary honor, joining a list that boasts Madonna, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Missy Elliott. The buzz is feverish—her return to the VMA stage marks her first performance there in twenty years and she’s expected to deliver a show-stopping medley of hits, from Honey and Heartbreaker to Obsessed and #Beautiful says E News. This milestone arrives as the Emancipation of Mimi album celebrates its 20th anniversary, a nod to Carey's enduring influence as the best-selling female artist of all time with 220 million albums sold and 19 Billboard Hot 100 number ones—eighteen self-penned, more than any solo artist in history. According to Parade, Carey presented the very same Vanguard Award to LL Cool J back in 1997 and now he’ll host her moment in the spotlight.
While the VMA news has taken over major headlines—#MariahCarey trended on Instagram and entertainment accounts posted congratulatory tributes—Carey isn’t pausing her business ambitions. She’s also fueling anticipation for her sixteenth studio album, Here For It All, which drops September 26. Its lead single Type Dangerous is currently in the running for Best R&B at the VMAs, facing off with heavyweights like SZA and Chris Brown as confirmed by That Grape Juice and E News. Carey’s Las Vegas residency, The Celebration of Mimi Live, got new January and February 2025 dates—presale tickets rolled out this week through SiriusXM, according to IMDb and SiriusXM’s announcement. On top of that, she was announced as a headliner for the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 19 and 20 reports iHeartRadio.
On social media, fans and outlets alike are calling this “her flowers” moment. Harper’s Bazaar’s Instagram put it succinctly: Mariah is set to receive the award that cements her legacy. Amid minor social media jabs about her age, there’s widespread awe at her longevity, vocal prowess, and ability to command the pop culture conversation decades into her career. Public focus is currently on her upcoming career-spanning VMA performance, imminent album release, and the Las Vegas shows. There are no credible reports of controversy or personal drama—just a well-deserved spotlight on one of music history’s most iconic women.
