Shaking my head in disbelief at MTV snubbing Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, and most importantly, Camila Cabello (this in theory was her only shot at getting a “Best New Artist” nomination). I wonder if MTV will pay a high cost for this unfair snubbing (poor ratings)? We’ll see who gets the last laugh when the ratings are announced on August 28th!
Who are you rooting for in each category?
