I’m so rooting for “bad guy”. “thank u, next” only felt like an event because of how fast it burned on people imo. “bad guy” (LMAO at both of them having lowercase-only titles) is much more of an event imo.

I have to agree that videos overall had a very unremarkable year. I'd be pleasantly surprised if "bad guy" wins over "thank, u next" as I think it's the better video, but the pre-release hype campaign for the Ariana one was done flawlessly. Meanwhile they snub LWYMMD but then nominate Taylor 12 times this year when her two videos this year don't even crack top 10 on her videography (these two aren't better than "Love Story", "You Belong with Me", "Mean", "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", "Bad Blood", "Look What You Made Me Do", "Wildest Dreams" or even "Style" or "Delicate"). And the best video from the project is the one that dropped a few days ago Still kinda excited for whatever performances we get this year. Normani, Taylor, H.E.R., ROSALÍA...

I think she is one of the three fan-voted categories they added on a few days ago. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, I guess, but that's a hella transparent wheel.

Taylor Swift appears to be wearing the same Versace blazer situation she wore to Teen Choice awards again. Wouldn't expect it from the woman that earned $5.85 each second last year.

VMA? VIDEO Music Awards? Right? Where's the video for Hot Girl Summer? What a joke of awards. Not to mention that this song was released 18 days ago. Power Anthem?

I hope Spanish queen ROSALÍA wins an award tonight. In case she doesn't, she's going to kill her performance at the very least to be honest and the US audience will stop to sleep on her too.

So that's Ava Max? Let me guess she was a huge Lady Gaga fan.

The VMAs has gone down the tubes in recent years, with fan voting determining the winners. (and nominees?. Are there even technical categories anymore? If so, fans probably decide those winners, too. And then there are the newer categories with - ahem- trendy/hip titles, that, as noted, sometimes have nothing to do with a video.

This Geico 'party pit' looks more like a punishment than exclusive access. The VMAs has gone down the tubes in recent years, with fan voting determining the winners. (and nominees?. Are there even technical categories anymore? If so, fans probably decide those winners, too. And then there are the newer categories with - ahem- trendy/hip titles, that, as noted, sometimes have nothing to do with a video. There are six technical categories, which are not fan-voted. (With that said the nominees for those tend to be iffy/designed only to pad some people's nomination counts.)

^Thanks. Probably so- then they're probably not nominating outstanding art-direction, editing, cinematography, etc. clips.
Do fans determine nominees, as well?

You're talking as if fans determine the winners, but we all know MTV awards/nominates celebrities that show up more than anything. I also disagree with the sentiment that professional categories are there to pad some people's nom counts. They do help with that, yes, but they nominate actually good music videos here and there too.

^Could be part of it, too- though there is online voting for the main categories, yes? Not that MTV can't "fudge" that some.

Love the big rainbow, fireworks, and big texted words. Most flashy performance I've seen in months.
