Taylor Swift tops MTV Video Music Awards nominations
Taylor Swift's star-studded "Bad Blood" music video is paying off: She's the top nominee at next month's MTV Video Music Awards.
Swift is nominated for nine moonmen, including video of the year for "Bad Blood," starring Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and more of the pop star's famous friends.
Lamar, who is featured on "Bad Blood," is nominated for video of the year thanks to his own hit, "Alright." Other nominees for the top prize include Beyonce's "7/11," Ed Sheeran's "Thinking out Loud" and "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson.
Sheeran scored six nominations, while Beyonce and Ronson are each up for five nods.
The 2015 VMAs, hosted by Miley Cyrus, will air live on Aug. 30 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Cyrus announced Monday that she would be hosting this year's ceremony. She posted of a photo of herself in an alien costume with boards that read "MTV won't let me perform" and "so I'm hosting this year's VMAs."
