Beyoncé, Adele Dominate the 2016 VMA Nominations

Last year, the MTV Video Music Awards catalyzed the pre-show Taylor Swift–Nicki Minaj Twitter dustup that resulted in some “Will they have beef at the show?!� drama. Then, during the ceremony, Nicki mixed it up again, this time with host Miley Cyrus, who did some mouthing off about her in the lead up to the telecast. And our lives were forever changed by “What’s good, Miley??� What celebrity scrapes, real and manufactured alike, will power this year’s VMAs? Check out the list of nominees below and start placing your bets.
