The "MTV Video Music Award" Nominees Are Out | Rahny Taylor Morning Show

The nominees for the "MTV Video Music Awards" have been announced, and Cardi B leads the way with 10, including nods for Best New Artist and Artist of the Year.  The Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé) are next with eight.

The Video of the Year nominees are:  "No Tears Left to Cry" by Ariana Grande, "Finesse (Remix)" by Bruno Mars, "Havana" by Camila Cabello, "This Is America" by Childish Gambino, "God's Plan" by Drake, and (Careful) "Apes**t" by The Carters.

The nominees for Artist of the Year are:  Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Drake, and Post Malone.

The biggest snub was probably Taylor Swift, who didn't get anything other than three nominations in the technical categories . . . even though her video for "Look What You Made Me Do" has been a huge success.

In fact, it even debuted DURING last year's "VMA" broadcast.  Naturally, Taylor's fans are acting like this is an EPIC TRAGEDY, and that their lives are over.

The ceremony is Sunday, August 20th in New York.  There's no word on a host or any performers yet.
