Last week, Katy made an epic return to the MTV stage for the first time since 2017. The five-time VMA winner accepted the 2024 Video Vanguard Award and performed a show-stopping, career-spanning medley of her biggest hits, which included the debut television performances of two singles from 143 – “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE,” with a surprise appearance by Doechii, and “LIFETIMES.” View the medley HERE.
Shortly thereafter, Katy dropped the official video for “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE.” View HERE. Billboard said, “If you’re still wiping the steam off your screen from Katy Perry‘s NSFW debut performance of ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ with Doechii during her career-spanning medley at this week’s 2024 VMAs, buckle up because the official video is just as provocative.” PEOPLE observed, “Katy Perry left no crumbs in her performance for the ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ music video.” Uproxx marveled, “From daredevil like stunts to full-on PDA, Katy Perry and Doechii hold nothing back.” 143 also includes features by 21 Savage, Kim Petras and JID.
