La cerimonia di conferimento dei Video Music Awards di MTV torna a New York il 20 agosto, al Radio City Music Hall. Le nomination sono arrivate in modo inusuale: attraverso la piattaforma video IGTV (la nuova televisione di Instagram). Così la più quotata è Cardi B, con 10 nomination, seguita dai Carters (Beyoncé e Jay-Z) con otto, da Childish Gambino e Drake con sette, Bruno Mars con sei, Camilla Cabello e Ariana Grande con cinque. Assente Katy Perry, che l’anno scorso era stata conduttrice della cerimonia di premiazione. Ecco la lista completa: VIDEO OF THE YEAR Ariana Grande – “No Tears Left to Cry” Bruno Mars ft.
