We already discussed "Anaconda" and whether it deserved a nomination for VOTY, but what about "Bad Blood"? The concept seemed beat to death and the video itself wasn't a representation of the great videos released this year.
I feel like it could have been a Lady Gaga 2010 situation where she could have had 2 nominations for Blank Space and Bad Blood but this year MTV went with the more recent one. Blank Space deserves the award more.
Blank Space deserved more
But yes it did, Nicki thinks breaking the VEVO record is really important to have a nomination, so..
But well, It broke the record, the song sold almost 500K copies that week, i had impact, everyone was talking about it, the song went #1, and it's a good video
