The Firework singer accepted the award from none other than the love of her life and father of her child, Orlando.
“You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katherine Hudson,” said the Lord of the Rings actor before presenting the award to her
"You know her as a global superstar who brings love, light, and her unique sense of humor to every song she writes and music video she creates. I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same love and joy to our family," he continued.
“You fell in love with her as Katy Perry. I fell in love with her as Katherine Hudson,” the actor said before presenting his fiancée with the MTV Video Vanguard Award

I see her reflected everywhere in our home, in her love for her work, but especially in her love for her fans. Congratulations on this honor, baby, I’m so proud of you.”
