Las Vegas glam is always ridiculous lol
Taylor Swift having eight nominations kinda confirms she’s gonna win everything again. But I’m confused who “Olivia Dean” is? Like is that the same person from TikTok or am I mixing names up.
I saw people saying “sombr”?? at first I thought it was a new artist and then realized it’s probably cut off in the article. Also MGM Grand Garden Arena already sounds fancy enough to distract from the actual music awards.
Queen Latifah hosting is the only reason I’ll watch, not gonna lie. Taylor leading with eight nominations like she’s unbeatable, but Morgan Wallen at seven is wild too… I swear these numbers always go up and down based on what’s trending that week. Also is Lady Gaga actually on the carpet or just in the nominations list? Like they make it sound both ways.
