VMA Nominations!
The VMA nominations are officially in and it looks like none other than Queen Bey is leading the noms with a total of 11 for her album Lemonade, followed by Adele with 8. There were a few notable snubs but, it looks like we won’t have a reenactment of 2009’s VMAs due to a certain Blonde country/pop star receiving 0 nominations this year (same goes for a certain bestfriend of hers). In other news, Bryson Tiller is really making a name for himself after winning this year’s Best New Artist & Best Male R&B artist at the BET awards and now he could possibly win in the same categories (plus one) at the VMAs. The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from New York’s Madison Square Garden (for the first time I history) on Sunday, August 28 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
