The post was flooded with congratulatory messages as fans celebrated her long-overdue win.
"QUEEN OF EVERYTHING," one wrote.
"Yasssss. So proud of you, Mimi," a second user added.
"You deserve this and more!" a commenter noted.
Fans were equally delighted by her brief encounter with the pop star, which quickly became a highlight online.
"A moment indeed. My two queens," a follower said.
"F-----g finally!!!!!! Living for you, receiving all your flowers and that beautiful moment with Ari," another added.
Amid the wave of heartfelt messages and praise, one comment in particular didn't go unnoticed.
Carey's post caught the attention of Naomi Campbell, who left a short but genuine message for the music legend.
"Congratulations @mariahcarey," she wrote, adding crown and heart emojis to signal the singer's status as a true music icon.
Apart from delivering a powerhouse performance of her top hits, including "Dreamlover," "Obsessed," "Heartbreaker," "Like That" and "We Belong Together," she commanded presence while accepting her Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
In her acceptance speech, the 56-year-old singer expressed her genuine gratitude to the organization.
"Thank you, MTV, for giving me the Vanguard Award. I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight," she said.
However, she threw a subtle shade, jokingly commenting, "What in the Sam Hill were you waiting for?" playfully calling out MTV for taking so long to recognize her with a VMA.
Carey joins a long list of icons who have received the lifetime award at the MTV VMAs. This includes Katy Perry, Shakira, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, the Beatles, David Bowie and more.
