Jennifer Lopez has been attending the MTV VMAs since 1998 (yep, that's exactly 20 years ago), but her appearance this year might just be her biggest. Not only is her hit "Dinero" featuring Cardi B nominated for best collaboration and best Latin video, but Jennifer is the guest of honour, as she's set to receive the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. In honour of Jennifer's massive achievement, we're taking a walk down memory lane and looking back at her best MTV VMAs moments through the years. Congrats, Jennifer!
