The MTV VMA nominations have just been announced and it's good news for Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and rising star, Beyoncé.
Swifto has a total of eight nominations including Video Of The Year (for 'Bad Blood' (!!)), Best Female Video and Best Pop Video (the latter two both for 'Blank Space').
Beyoncé also appears in all three of those categories for the messy hotel nightmare '7/11', and has five nominations in total.
As far as the men are concerned, Ed Sheeran's 'up for' six awards including all the ones mentioned above and some technical ones. Oh and he'll have to try and beat off Mark Ronson and Nick Jonas for Best Male Video.
