It’s impossible to say you don’t know her: the Queen of Christmas is taking over Summer as she’ll be receiving the Video Vanguard Award, the highest honor at the MTV VMAs this year. She’ll also perform a melody of her greatest hits. This will be the first time Carey will win a Moon Person — a shame truly, but don’t feel too bad. Mimi has won 6 Grammy Awards, fourteen Billboard Music Awards, and ten American Music Awards. Plus, what’s more Mariah than your first MTV award being the biggest one at a ceremony? There’s no bigger honor than topping the charts every December, but maybe sharing a Moon Person with Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and Rihanna will do. Hosted by LL Cool J (the same person Carye presented the Vanguard award to in 1997), it’ll all go down on Sunday, September 7, at 8 p.m. ET.

It will not only be an emancipation of Mimi — Other show-stopping performances of the evening will include Ricky Martin (winner of the VMAs’ first Latin Icon Award), Sabrina Carpenter, Busta Rhymes, J Balvin, Alex Warren, and Sombr. It’s a Christmas wish come true!
