The 2016 VMA Nominations are in and guess what Taylor Swift has been snubbed for the first time since 2009. Could this be the end of Taylor Swift Ms goody two shoes as we know it?
Beyonce, Adele and Kanye West lead in nominations and the infamous FAMOUS video is nominated for the biggest awards of the night, Video Of The Year. I hope whatever Kanye West does when he accepts one of his awards (I am sure he will win one or two) he should not even breathe the TS words!
