[RadicalOptimism]

Come through Dua  the Quarantine Queen 

[TheySayImCrazy18]

Britney Better Be Nominated For Something With Mood Ring  

Spoiler

Actually Tho, I Hope Gaga Takes The Win This Year. 

 

[Britneyarmy8]

I keep seeing tweets wanting shakira to win vanguard but I want her to win next year so she’s forced to do a live performance 

some fad that doesn’t know how to perform can win this year 

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

Well that was very um

silly of her 

she could’ve done a bomb performance of HIAM or something 

and considering current Shakira and currentney are similar in terms of being lazy when it comes to promotion I would think shaki might do the same also considering she lives in spain

i think this is what happens when ur a young teen star and get overworked 

[xzede25]

Selena Gomez for sure will be in the list with "Lose you to love me". DUa with Dont Start now even tho i preffer Physicall.

But this should be Dua Lipa's years she's been working HARD

[Roxxy]

I hope I get nominations for Don't Call Me Angel and / or Rain On Me.

[redacted statement]

Wonder if BLACKPINK or BTS are getting a nomination at least.  Anyway, Dua for the win - the only thing I care about when it comes to the VMAs. 

[Blackout2006]

Great! Thankfully where I live, it will only be 12.30 when the nominations are out and I can stay up for the time

Really hoping to see Dua and Billie tho

[Towelney]

Better be Dula or Billie.

[blackoutbixxh]

[CHAOTIC STYLE.]

They are in.

[The Exhale Psychic]

If MTV Did A Bravest Person Award Britney Would Win That

[Brat]

Eminem looks hot 

Lots of The Weekend 

[CHAOTIC STYLE.]

Thank God it’s not Selena in there. I love Taylor, but her video for The Man is just tacky. Eminem and Juice WRLD? So random. Justin Bieber artist of the year?? What has she done beside her flopping week *** album? 
 

I’m fine tho, ‘cause Nicki and Karol G got two nominations for Tusa. I love that Megan and Doja are in there. Best Pop is definitely going to Miss Halsey. She deserved more nominations. That’s it, let’s move on and pretend this mess never happened.
