Beyonce's "Lemonade" Leads 2016 MTV Video Music Award Nominations; Taylor Swift Is Snubbed!
Posted on Tue Jul 26th, 2016 12:10pm PDT By X17 Staff
The results are in: Beyonce is in and Taylor is out -- like way out!
MTV announced the nominees of 2016 of the Video Music Awards in a Facebook Live video on Tuesday — and Bey’s Lemonade is the big winner, nabbing 11 nominations — a career best.
Meanwhile Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams,†“Out of the Woods†and “New Romantics†videos got totally snubbed! It’s quite a shock given the fact that Tay was the night’s big winner last year and scored 10 nominations for “Bad Blood.â€
Amazingly enough, T-Swizz's arch nemesis Kanye West got two nominations for the now infamous "Famous" video.
Big-voiced British singer Adele trailed Beyonce with an impressive eight nominations, including seven for her October 2015 "Hello" video. She also got a nod for Best Visual Effects category for "Send My Love (to Your New Lover)."Â
The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards airs live from Madison Square Garden on Sunday, August 28, at 9 p.m. ET.
