It’s about that time!
The 2016 MTV VMA nominees were announced on Tuesday, just days after the Kanye West/Kim Kardashian/Taylor Swift drama took over media for the week and reminded us of the trendsetting awards show.
Beyoncé leads the pack with her visual album Lemonade landing 11 nominations, making it the most she’s ever had at the VMAs. Queen Adele earned eight nominations, including the coveted Video Of The Year award for “Hello.”
