The host of the Los Angeles gala will be singer Miley Cyrus, who at the 2013 awards stripped down to a flesh-coloured bikini and twerked with Robin Thicke – adding to her notoriety but also bringing the bottom-thrusting dance move into the mainstream.

“I’ve done nothing but love & support you”, she tweeted to Minaj. Taylor Swift and Minaj traded words on Twitter after the rapper said… In another photograph, the singer appeared somewhat excited and was accompanied by a message saying, “So I’m hosting this year’s VMAs“.
She also took to Instagram to post a amusing meme – a collage of photos with her and Beyonce not looking too pleased – with the statement, “The beyhive and barbz looking at each other after seeing feeling myself not being nominated like #VMAs”. “Maybe one of the men took your slot”.
Her barbz quickly came to her defense with one fan tweeting, which Minaj retweeted, “Anaconda was a CULTURAL PHENOMENON and it didn’t even receive a nomination??”
The contenders for the Video of the Year award are “Bad Blood” (Taylor Swift), “7/11” (Beyonce), “Thinking Out Loud” (Ed Sheeran), “Uptown Funk” (Mark Ronson) and “Alright” (Kendrick Lamar).
“Huh? U must not be reading my tweets”.
“I’m still confused as to why u just tweeted me when I made it abundantly clear…” But u should speak on this. “You’re invited to any stage I’m ever on”.
“Anaconda”, released a year ago, has 488 million views on YouTube. But Nicki couldn’t help but notice she’d missed out on the Video of the Year and Best Choreography categories. He got two for the solo artist honor and three nominations for his participation in “Bad Blood“.
Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj, “Bang Bang“.

Success at the MTV Video Music Awards would be the latest triumph for Swift, whose “1989” was the fastest-selling album in the United States in 12 years.
