Taylor will obviously perform too, she has a small break from tour. Nah, she'll probably just debut another video to avoid singing live.

I can't @ somebody saying Azealia Banks deserved a nomination for Ice Princess. We must be in alternate universes where sh!t is turned into quality.

lol. Nicki responded saying it wasn't about Taylor...but then, who was it about?
IMO, "Anaconda" did break records but haven't those records since been broken? And will be broken again soon? "Anaconda" surely made its mark and deserves to be recognized amongst the 2015 nominees but I don't think it was such a special video that it needs the Video of the Year nod.
If anything, I'm more annoyed that "Feeling Myself" got completely snubbed. Also, "Blank Space" should be nominated instead of "Bad Blood (Remix)". I'm rooting for Kendrick Lamar to win VOTY on his own. Also, how is Sia not nominated for Choreography? Was BBHMM released too late? It came out a few days after "Alright" and that got nominated.

Besides, the VMAs aren't even real awards! If they were, they would be awarded to the director, art director, choreographer, etc. and not the recording artist. It's silly to make a fuss over them.

"Anaconda" deserved a VOTY nomination. Although not to as massive of an extent, it was still huge enough that it paralleled "Wrecking Ball" and its exact iconic pop culture imprint. "Anaconda" absolutely ruled everything upon its release for a number of weeks, far beyond charts, sales, and streams. It was a cultural phenomenon and the fact that it was paid dust shocked the hell out of me.
No comment RE: the Taylor/Nicki Twitter fiasco.

It suddenly just got dark... the shade is unbearable I was going to include my favorite gif of the shade flying over skyscrapers but I was too stunned from MTV sending Nicki into her own 30 days of night to get it together. I actually have a lot of thoughts about Nicki's fuckery over this, none of them good...but for the moment I will just say that I'm not here for this throwing rocks and then trying to put her hands behind her back mess. She is doing the most with the least, and all for a bunch of awards that not only mean nothing, but are fan-voted so she would have lost everything to Taylor anyway. To top it all off, Taylor's nominated videos are actually good, definitely among the best of the year and deserving of their noms when compared to everything else that came out. So why single her out? She should ask how Kendrick managed to get in VOTY with a video that came out less than a month ago.

She also threw shade during Burlesque because she won the Golden Globe and actually thought she had the Oscar in the bag.

the vma's are the least musically relevant award show and this has been the case for years, so the nominations/awards don't mean anything anymore. it's all about the performances and "shock value". with that being said, it's painfully obvious taylor swift will sweep the night away.

Uhm they do have awards for those And MTV shows videos And VMAs are still a HUGE deal as that Twitter thing indicates.. they have never been musical awards though.

Yes, racism directed at black women specifically is rampant in the industry and in society in general. But this is NOT an instance of it, it's just Nicki manipulating the situation to fit her. And Taylor is very manipulative and disigenious too (chastising Nicki for supposedly pitting women against each other when her current single is a Katy Perry diss track? Really? I'm surprised Nicki hasn't brought this up).
MTV has just shown that they don't like this type of ass shaking, twerking video in recent years. "Wrecking Ball" is not analogous to "Anaconda". "We Can't Stop", with its scenes of twerking and Miley literally shoving her ass into the camera is, and that video was also snubbed for Video of the Year despite many thinking it had a shot at winning. But of course no one mentioned race, because it had nothing to do with it. "Shake It Off", the biggest hit from 1989 and the video many thought would be Taylor's main bet at the VMAs, with its infamous "twerk tunnel", also got snubbed. As did "All About That Bass" by Meghan. MTV just 'isn't here' for that type of video. They're shunning both black and white.
And then Nicki's complaints about body size make ZERO sense either, because the women in the Anaconda video are NOT fat. They are very slim and fit, but with natural curves. But guess what, there IS another video nominated, with plenty of women of colour, by a woman of colour, with the same body types as the ones in the Anaconda video, with women shaking their asses and being sexy and fun: 7/11. The fact that it's nominated completely discredits Nicki's rants. She's only doing it for herself, throwing a tantrum and trying to get attention because she's mad she got overshadowed once more.

The rock category is a big joke. Shut Up And Dance, Ship To Wreck and Take Me To Church. Seriously, MTV?

I wouldn't be surprised if they have a Bad Blood performance. Taylor only sings the hook on the remix anyway, and the theatrics they they usually have at VMA performances can easily distract from her mediocre live vocals
