To the cats:
Katy doesn't need to be nominated, she obviously won't win, so it's better for her to not be nominated, than be beaten in her categories.
At least to me, that looks like a better PR, than her losing against Taylor Swift for example
I am always glad that 90% of the times Gaga is nominated, she wins, otherwise she is not nominated at all/doesn't attend.
I think that's better for Katy too !
