Lady Gaga dominated the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards nominations with 12 total including several for a collaboration with Bruno Mars.
Lady Gaga and her iconic meat dress made quite an impact at the 2010 MTV VMAs, and the pop star continues to build a legacy at the award show 15 years later, as she is the most-nominated artist this year.
The Mother Monster's 12 new nominations include artist of the year, best album for Mayhem and best direction, best art direction, best cinematography, best editing, best choreography and best visual effects for "Abracadabra." She scored the other four nominations — video of the year, song of the year, best collaboration and best pop — for her hit duet with Bruno Mars, "Die with a Smile."

Aside from Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Bad Bunny, Doechii, Ed Sheeran, Jelly Roll, Miley Cyrus and Tate McRae all scored multiple nominations for their work this year.
This is Gaga's third time dominating the awards show, and fans were enthusiastic about the news.
"Lady gaga is the best out there," one fan wrote.
"The run Gaga has been on is unmatched. Each era, something new, but always fresh," another penned.
"THIS REALLY IS GAGAS YEAR," someone else declared.
But not everyone was thrilled for the "Just Dance" chart-topper.
"Did that with 0 good songs in over a decade. Impressive. Not that much deserved. Right, guys?" one critic wrote.
"And that's how you know the entire industry is rigged," another hater shared.
