“MTV VMA 2025”, Lady Gaga regina delle nomination
Il 7 settembre, all’UBS Arena di Elmont, New York, tornano gli MTV VMA con l’edizione 2025: un appuntamento che ogni anno celebra la musica e le star capaci di far battere forte il cuore dei fan. Tra tutte le candidature annunciate, spicca ancora una volta Lady Gaga, che con 12 nomination guida la classifica per la terza volta nella storia dell’evento.
Un risultato che parla del suo talento, ma anche del suo incredibile successo dal vivo: Gaga continua a incantare il pubblico con concerti sold-out e performance da brivido in giro per il mondo.
Dietro di lei, Bruno Mars con 11 e Kendrick Lamar con 10 cercano di scalzarla, ma la sfida resta apertissima. Tra i nomi in gara, votabili sul sito ufficiale, ci sono anche Rosé e Sabrina Carpenter con 8 nomination, Ariana Grande e The Weeknd con 7, Billie Eilish con 6, Charli XCX con 5, oltre a Bad Bunny, Doechii, Ed Sheeran, Jelly Roll, Miley Cyrus e Tate McRae, tutti con 4 candidature.
Nota di merito a Damiano David, che gareggia per la gioia dei fan italiani con ben due nomination: una nella categoria dell’esibizione Push dell’anno e una come Miglior Long Video.
