It's really annoying that MTV did not nominate Anaconda for Voty (or even Blank Space, not that I like that video) because MTV probably just wants Bad Blood to be ensured the win so that Taylor can bring up her crew during her acceptance speech for a completely staged VMA moment. They believe this is Taylor's big moment in fame right bow so they wanna put her in the spotlight. They didn't want Blank Space to win cuz then Taylor would go up there alone, same with Nicki when they could make it a 'party' if you know what I mean. And they are also ageist because Bitch I'm Madonna was a great video. It's similar to 7/11 with the basic camera shooting, but BIM is far superior.

This is going to be a good show. MTV is loving this publicity. And the fact Katy called Taylor a hypocrite was so funny. And Bitch Better Have My Money deserved to be nominated. Maybe it will happen next year, but by then Rihanna's future singles will overshadowed the previous single. Maybe she'll be nominated for Best Music Video at the Grammys.

I couldn't vote because is forbidden for my country... MTV sucks...

So weak songs...and it is very clear who will get more awards!

Beyonce & Taylor Swift in every category... it's annoying and its just for sure they will won... MTV is not what was ...

I know fans vote for these awards, but I'm pretty sure the VOTY award is always decided upon by MTV to ensure the right person wins it. Taylor was going to win no matter what. But plenty of artists tell their fans to vote for them to win awards at the VMAs and at other awards shows so I'm not sure I fully understand why people are so upset. Her friends that were in the video are probably saying to vote because that means they'll get to go on stage if she wins. Like it's obvious campaigning, but it's not unheard of.

Vote is nothing. If Taylor pay she is winner. You know that guys.

Honey, Taylor Swift is such a fucking hypocrite. I'm glad Katy Perry called her ass out on that shit.

I would love to see Ellie perform. She's an energetic entertainer and it would be a big platform for her to launch the new album, but her profile is honestly the highest it's ever been stateside thanks to LMLYD.

I can't believe Taylor is that desperate. She was gonna win even if she didn't do all the things that she is doing now, unless MTV rigs it. This seems a little too much for me.

As much as it pisses me off, Taylor Swift will indeed win Video of the Year. She wants to win so bad that her including Selena Gomez are telling their fans to vote for the video. It's bad enough she put the link on the description box of her Instagram page. When that happens, it's game over. I will be pleasantly surprised if she loses but that's not likely now.

Crap, these VMA nominations are shitty. Way too much Beyonce and Taylor Swift love.
