Each year, MTV's Music Video Awards recognizes one especially pioneering artist for their musical accomplishments with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. This year, that honoree is Jennifer Lopez.

In addition to a string of hits and an extensive filmography, JLo has earned two career Latin GRAMMY nominations and two GRAMMY nominations, including for Best Dance Recording for her hit "Let's Get Loud" at the 43rd GRAMMY Awards. The New York native most recently released the diamond-crusted track "Dinero" with DJ Khaled and Cardi B, which has been nominated for two VMAs this year.

The Video Vanguard Award has been given every year since the VMAs' inaugural awards presentation in 1984 when the award was shared by David Bowie, the Beatles and Richard Lester. Other past recipients include Janet Jackson, Madonna, Tom Petty, Britney Spears, LL Cool J, Rihanna, and most recently, Pink.

Lopez's appearance on the show will include an acceptance speech and performance — her first since 2001 — when the VMAs go live from Radio City Music Hall in New York Aug. 20.

Just hours after large golden heads of Travis Scott mysteriously appeared in Los Angeles, Houston and New York, the GRAMMY-nominated rapper announced his long-anticipated solo album, Astroworld, will land on earth Aug. 3.

Scott broke the news via his Twitter account, complete with a trailer for the album with the subtitle "Stargazing." The video, which was directed by Nabil, shows Scott wandering through a dystopian-looking world rife with snow and majestic planets. It's both a little like this world and very much out of this world as he raps, "We propelling, on top with Ellen."

Astroworld is Scott's first solo project since his 2016 LP, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, though he has worked on many collaborations since then. Earlier this year the rapper also released the track "Watch," featuring Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert.

It's been almost a year since Kesha released her breathtaking comeback album, Rainbow. A work of sheer perseverance, strength and resilience, the journey to get that album made was no small feat. It's an accomplishment that deserves to be celebrated time and time again. On Aug. 10, the GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter will do just that by commemorating the one-year anniversary of the album with the documentary, Rainbow — The Film.

Rainbow — The Film, which was directed by Kesha, her brother Lagan Sebert and Kevin Hayden, will present "psychedelic vignettes" that chronicle the making of her 2017 LP. Through never-before-seen film footage, viewers gain insight into Kesha's personal life and how she overcame impossible hurdle after hurdle to create a beautiful album that showcases self-love, courage and the power of music to heal.

"Making Rainbow the album was such a therapeutic process and given the opportunity to turn it into a three-dimensional piece of art has helped me find even deeper healing and catharsis," Kesha said in a statement. "I hope this film inspires others to never give up even if you feel full of hurt or lost, because after the storm comes a rainbow. Depression, anxiety and mental illness are things we all need to talk about more, and there is no shame in asking for help. Making the decision to work on yourself is the bravest thing you can do. I hope this film helps bring light and love to everyone."

Look for Kesha's documentary on Apple Music starting Aug. 10. In the meantime, paint those rainbows on your face like warpaint, because Rainbow demands it: "Just put those colors on, girl/Come and play along with me tonight."
