Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar lead the nominations for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).<\/p>\n
Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande are also among the most nominated artists for the 2025 US award show.<\/p>\n
Beyonc\u00e9 and Taylor Swift, who are tied for most VMA wins with 30 each, have received one nomination this year – both in the artist of the year category. <\/p>\n
Neither artist released an album in the past year, but both artists have undertaken blockbuster tours in that period. <\/p>\n
Swift already holds the crown for most Moonman trophies for a single artist, as Beyonc\u00e9’s tally includes collaborations with others. <\/p>\n
Swift was also the biggest winner on the night last year, winning seven prizes, including the top two awards: artist and video of the year.<\/p>\n
Overall this year, Lady Gaga has received 12 nominations, Bruno Mars has 11, rapper Kendrick Lamar is next with 10, and Espresso singer Sabrina Carpenter has eight.<\/p>\n
Lady Gaga’s nominations include artist of the year and best album for Mayhem. The 39-year-old is currently on tour in the US. <\/p>\n
Die With A Smile, a collaboration between Lady Gaga and Mars, also 39, is nominated for song of the year, with the musicians also up for best collaboration, best pop, and video of the year.<\/p>\n
This year’s VMAs includes two new categories: best country and best pop artist.<\/p>\n
The show will take place on 7 September at New York’s UBS Arena.<\/p>\n
