Lady Gaga accepted the inaugural Tricon Award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. It’s unclear if this is the spiritual successor to the Vanguard Award — which may or may not have underwent a name change last year to remove Michael Jackson from the title — or just something that MTV made up exclusively for this year to give Gaga another award so that she would show up to perform.

She was introduced by Bella Hadid and a montage that proclaimed her as a “global music superstar, award-winning actor, fashion trailblazer, [and] devoted activist.” (That’s four things!) It also said she was “unexpected, unforgettable, unstoppable” — are those the three things?

“This is so cool. This means a lot to me,” Gaga said at the beginning of her speech. “It means more to me than you probably even realize. I’ve been making music since I was a little girl and even though I had really, really big dreams I really never could have imagined that I would be given an award like this that honored me for so many of my passions.”

“Everyone at home is their own form of a Tricon,” she said a little later on. “I wish for you to think, right now, of three things that define who you are, and take a moment to reward yourself for your bravery. This has not been an easy year for a lot of people, but what I see in the world is a massive triumph of courage.”

“I also hope that people at home who have big dreams, I hope they see me here today accepting this award and know how grateful I am. I want you to know that you can do this too. Just because we’re separated right now and culture may feel less alive in some ways, I know a renaissance is coming and the wrath of pop culture will inspire you and the rage of art will empower you as it responds to hardship with its generosity and love.”
