She's not going to be there because she has a concert that day, I have some hope that "Applause" will be nominated for something, same for "G.U.Y" but as for Video of The Year, Not a chance. MTV doesn't give it to the best "video" anymore, they give it to the most popular "song" so it's either going to be Lorde "Royals" Beyonce "Drunk in love" Katy Perry "Dark Horse" Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball" Or maybe even Iggys "Fancy" and Ariana's "Problem"
Everything realesed during the ARTPOP era can be nominated this year. She won't be performing because she has an artRAVE on August 24, the same day as the VMA's.
