Katy Perry’s Defiant VMAs Speech Calls for Detractors to Log Off: ‘There Are No Decade-Long Accidents’

Katy Perry gave a defiant speech at the 2024 MTV VMAs, telling detractors to log off and that 'there are no decade-long accidents.'

Katy Perry gave a defiant speech while accepting the MTV Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 VMAs, telling detractors to “touch grass” and that there are “no decade-long accidents.” The speech itself began with Perry asking the audience if they could believe she did the performance “on my first day of my period.” She followed by referencing her legacy since she made her mainstream debut with 2008’s “One of the Boys,” and that “there are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist.” After thanking her team, family, Katy Cats and LGBTQ+ community, she shouted out Bloom for “doing the dishes” — a nod to a viral line from a recent interview where she said she would reward a man with sexual favors for performing the everyday chore — as well as her daughter Daisy.
