At 39, the music superstar leads the night with 12 nominations, including the prestigious Video Of The Year for her collaboration with Bruno Mars titled Dying With A Smile.
Gaga already has 18 VMA wins under her belt and her fans are anticipating her to add even more accolades this year.
This year also marks the third time that Gaga led MTV’s list of VMA nominees.
She previously topped the list with 13 nods in 2010 and again in 2020 tying for first with nine total nominations.
Trailing her is Bruno Mars, her collaborator, who boasts 11 nominations, while Kendrick Lamar follows with ten, marking the third highest number of nominations.
Taylor Swift did not release a single or album in the last year so she is only up for one award in the Artist Of The Year category.
