MTV VMAs nominations out: Lady Gaga leads with 12 nods, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar follow
Singer and actor Lady Gaga is the frontrunner for MTV's Video Music Awards (VMAs) as the musician scored 12 nominations for the 2025 ceremony, set to take place on September 7, reported Variety. Gaga's dozen nominations are followed by 11 for Bruno Mars, 10 for Kendrick Lamar, eight apiece for Sabrina Carpenter and Rose, and seven each for Ariana Grande and The Weeknd. According to the media outlet, Billie Eilish landed six nods, and Charli XCX picked up five nominations. There's also a six-way tie with four nominations each for Bad Bunny, Doechii, Jelly Roll, Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae and Miley Cyrus. Gaga's nominations are split between 'Die With a Smile', her duet with Bruno Mars, which has nominations spread across many of the top general categories and her 'Mayhem' album's 'Abracadabra,' which picked up nominations in every single one of the technical categories. Gaga's big haul of nominations marks the third time she has been the leading contender for the VMAs, after she previously led the nomination scorecard by picking up 13 in 2010 and nine in 2020. Fan voting is open until September 6, 2am UAE time, with the exception of the best new artist category, which will remain active into the show itself, according to Variety. Although neither Taylor Swift nor Beyoncé had much action in the way of new music videos in the past year, those two past VMAs winners remain in the running for artist of the year, a category that is not tied to any specific video.
