I mean, The Man: VOTY nominated song Look What You Made Me Do: also, Megan Thee Stallion nominated for ARTIST OF THE YEAR? With one hit that doesn't even have a music video. and the biggest song of the year - Blinding Lights, not nominated in that category. everything i wanted VOTY nom too....... It’s a mess. But it’s a mess every year...this year is just a lil extra.

I love Taylor but "The Man" for VOTY is enough of a reason for me to ignore this thing this year.

"UNDERDOGS" & "BLINDING LIGHTS" ARE NOT R&B AT ALL!!!! Urgh I hate it when awards shows do this. They could've given these two spots to ACTUAL R&B videos that are more deserving. Goodbye.

The VMA's have been trash for a while, it is known. But the fact they just blatantly ignore great videos and just nominate people for ratings/views is becoming even more obvious and tired.
I know it has been a weak year for videos for obvious reasons but 'The Man' for VOTY?! It's even more insulting when you look back at past years and see that 'Look what you made me do' wasn't even nominated! The whole category is weak as hell tbh.
And so much love for 'Rain on me' like it's okay but I don't think it deserved that much love at all.
The whole best collaboration category is a snoozefest.
Megan the Stalion while I have nothing against her, how is she getting VMA (Video music awards) nominations for a song without a video?!?!?
I have no Idea why 'Blinding Lights is in R&B because it couldn't be further from R&B if it tried. I guarantee if a white artist sung that song it would be in 'Best Pop'.
And I think the most laughable/ridiculous one is 'Best Pop'. MTV really nominated Intentions, What a man gotta do and Lover over any Dua Lipa single and/or Adore you or Watermelon Sugar. Say So even. Hell Mothers Daughter and Harley's in Hawaii had better more memorable videos then the songs I mentioned.
I know it's only an award show but my god these are just some of the many problems I have with this years nominations. MTV is extremely out of touch and it is showing. Do better.

That Blinding Lights being labeled as r&b isn't just VMAs though, isn't it r&b as per Billboard too? The industry is mess with this.

Blinding Lights really is the only good music video nominated for Best Music Video. They snubbed the f*ck outta The Box, Say So, Circles, The Bigger Picture, Leave It Alone, Physical, Break My Heart, Watermelon Sugar, Delete Forever, WHATS POPPIN, Level of Concern, even Before You Go had a better music video than the other nominees!

Maybe we should all collectively ignore this thing?
It's very clear to me that they were baiting Taylor, Ariana and Gaga into performing with the big nods.

Unless they’re giving the Video Vanguard award to someone I like, I have no reason to watch the VMAs this year. Seeing no major Dua or Harry nominations makes me believe they probably won’t be performing. I’d watch a Gaga performance if it’s a new single (I’m ready to move on from ROM) and I know I’ll get hate for this, but I just don’t care for Taylor’s folklore album (not my cup of tea). Maybe a big star will surprise us with a lead single performance.

Lol at "Rain on Me" getting seven nominations when "You and I," "Applause," and "G.U.Y." (and "Stupid Love" for that matter) got a combined zero.
Video of the Year should've been Blinding Lights, BOP, On, Physical, Rain on Me, Watermelon Sugar, and Yo Perreo Sola.

I believe all of this is related to the fact that VMAs tends to award/acknowledge videos released the same year as the show more than the ones from the year before. It's a bullshit award show and the only thing sort of almost about music that MTV does at this point so IDK why anyone cares to even talk about it. I'd rather watch Kids Choice Awards and take a shot every time they slime someone, at least I'd be trashed by the end.

Well I was expecting someone who has actually hit #1 on the Hot 100 or can sustain a Top 10 for more than one week. So hey at least we have Doja Cat and J Balvin who have done both.

BTS are not boring LOVE THEM Me too. I consider their late February Grand Central performance the closing ceremony for life as we once knew it. Plus Jin's hair looks so good here.

I can see Cardi and Meg getting a slot.
Hopefully Dua as well. Bring out Madonna and Missy for the Levitating remix please.

VMA's is bowing out of the Barclay Center, they are only doing the show at outdoor locations which is definitely for the best.
