Yesterday the Video Music Awards nominations were released.
Leading the pack, with 11 nominations, is Madonna. She has been nominated in every decade of her careers. She has won 19 VMA’s and in 1986 became the first solo female artist to receive the Video Vanguard Award.
If she were to sweep, she’d tie Beyoncé and Taylor Swift for the title of most-awarded musician in VMA history. They have 30 each. (Eminem is the male artist with the most VMAs, with 15.)
Taylor Swift has nine nominations. If she takes home even one award, she will become the most-awarded artist in VMA history.
The top prize of the night, video of the year, has Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” compete against Madonna’s “Confessions II — The Film,” Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Tear” and GENER8ION’s “Storm” starring Yung Lean.
The 2 hour show will broadcast live on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 from the Peacock Theater in LA.
