VMAs 2026 Full Nominations List: Madonna And Taylor Swift Lead The Way

Now, it’s been revealed that the album’s accompanying visuals have led to her becoming the most-nominated artist at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, which celebrate achievements in music visuals over the past 12 months.

Madonna, of course, has a long history with the VMAs, delivering a show-stopping rendition of Like A Virgin at the first ever ceremony in 2004, locking lips with Britney Spears during a performance two decades later and scooping Video Of The Year for Ray Of Light in the mid-90s.

This year, she’s up for some of the night’s top prizes thanks to her Confessions II short film and the Sabrina Carpenter collaboration Bring Your Love, which served as the album’s lead single.

Just behind on nine nominations is Taylor Swift, while Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter each have seven.
