Taylor Swift vs. Beyoncé
From Formation To Reputation …
Which Queen Will Rule VMAs?!?
Published September 4, 2025 11:29 AM PDT
Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are both on the hunt for their 31st career MTV Video Music Award … and this year they’re both nominated in the same category … and a win by either would break a tie.
Here’s the deal … Taylor and Beyoncé are both sitting on 30 MTV VMAs … and they’re up for Artist of the Year. It’s the only nomination for either singer.
The category also features Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Morgan Wallen and The Weeknd … so Taylor and Beyoncé are competing with some heavy hitters and huge acts in their own right.
But, let’s be honest … Taylor and Beyoncé are the two biggest names here … with all due respect to their peers.
A win by Taylor or Beyoncé would vault the victor over the other to the top of the MTV VMA career list … but there’s always the chance neither wins and they remain deadlocked at 30 apiece.
Taylor earned 7 VMAs last year to tie Beyoncé at 30 … but Beyoncé still holds the top spot in career Grammy wins, with a whopping 35.
Fan voting is already open and it ends tomorrow … and the 2025 Video Music Awards show will air live from New York’s UBS Arena this Sunday, with LL Cool J hosting.
