Shakira is the latest star to receive the Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Shakira follows in the footsteps of major stars to win the award from Michael Jackson to Beyoncé.

Shakira will become the first South American artist to receive MTV's Video Vanguard Award at this year's Video Music Awards.

The award, which was introduced at the first Video Music Awards in 1984, is one of the ceremony's most prestigious awards, and is essentially MTV's version of a lifetime achievement award.

Shakira will receive her award at the upcoming MTV VMAs on September 12.

Here are all the previous winners of the award.
