Beyonce, Adele Lead Nominees for 2016 MTV Video Music Awards — Taylor Swift Snubbed!

MTV had a blank space, but didn’t write Taylor Swift’s name!

Beyoncé and Adele are the leading nominees for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, with Bey leading all contenders with a career high 11 noms for her visual album Lemonade. The British singer is just behind her with 8 nods for her global smash 25. Also snagging multiple noms for the show — that will air live from New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. ET — are Drake, with 6 for his “Hotline Bling” clip, Ariana Grande (5) and Rihanna (4).

Swift, however, received zero nominations, a surprising turn of events for the 26-year-old singer, who led the pack of honorees at last year’s ceremony with 10 nominations for “Bad Blood”.

Take a look at the nominations for each category below.
