Pink was chosen “for her trailblazing impact on music, pop culture, fashion and philanthropy” according to MTV officials. She will also perform her new single What About Us.

The award is MTV’s ultimate honour as it commends a performer’s influence on contemporary art, music and fashion. We think Pink deserves the award and rightly so!

Katy Perry will be presenting the show and more artists are set to perform such as; Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, Thirty Seconds to Mars, The Weeknd, Lorde, Fifth Harmony etc.

Earlier this week, Pink aka Alecia Moore released her brand new single What About Us and has also released news of an upcoming album Beautiful Trauma.

I could not be more excited right now. My single comes out today "what About Us" and my new album "Beautiful Trauma" comes out October 13th. I'm certifiably, insanely proud of this album. It's been a while, and I'm grateful for all the years we've had. Looking forward to the next chapter with you.
