Beyonce Leads 2023 VMAs Nominations in Social Categories
When the nominations for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards were announced on Aug. 8, Beyoncé had just a single nomination (albeit a big one) – artist of the year. Queen Bey did better in the nominations in four socially voted categories, which were announced on Friday (Sept. 1). She received three nods in the social categories, which put her in a tie with Taylor Swift for the most in these four categories.
The two megastars are going head-to-head for show of the summer, song of summer and album of the year (in addition to the previously announced artist of the year).
