Madonna wins Best Dance for the ‘Confessions II’ film at the #VMAs.

Madonna’s at three. I wonder if she’s featuring the VMAs as a big part of her campaigning and planning to do more from now on. They’re definitely recognizing her legacy.

Responding to a comment in the previous thread regarding Rodrigo vs. Dean —

I just don’t see Dean’s album making a lot of noise, and it’s clear that Rodrigo is being positioned as a new “it” girl. I looked over the description of her second Grammy Museum exhibit and once I saw that it highlights the Daisy Chain festival, it was clear to me that her people are very serious about trying to win big. The awards aren’t just about the music, and outside factors are weighed when deciding winners.

Her other Grammy Museum exhibit focused on The Cure, which suggests her people are considering that song for their submissions. It’s got no chance of winning ROTY against Choosin’ Texas, but it might have a good shot in the more songwriting-focused SOTY category.

After spending nearly half a year at #1 on the US Billboard charts, Choosin’ Texas is bound to win either ROTY or SOTY, as well as all the country nominations it gets. Madonna is sure to win all the dance pop categories.

#VMAs Video of the Year Winner: The Fate of Ophelia by Taylor Swift

oh dear. well it is an expensive video

The Grammys, it’s about damn time to give Taylor all the Grammys she deserved for The Fate of Ophelia come February 2027.

oh wow. they just ended the vmas without announcing song of the year, summer, or best album.

We Can’t Be Friends deserved it imo

oh. yeah if that was up in contention, then i’d go with WCBF. sad it lost then, it was such a pretty music video even if i never could get into the song. fortnight just didn’t have much going for it.

From the previous thread: I don’t see Olivia Rodrigo winning Album of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Be realistic Livies.

I am not even a “livie” but all of this is extremely possible. idc what ya’ll say, she is so obviously in the lead for AOTY right now.

its still

aoty- rodrigo
soty- bruno
roty- dean or raye

bruno and rodrigo could also swap places, but this feels likely.

Let’s not get carried away. Winning Video of the Year hasn’t meant a GF win in 16 years, so don’t let the excitement cloud your judgment. Dean and Rodrigo have this one, and it’s theirs to lose.
