Si svolgeranno il prossimo 25 agosto al Brooklyn’s Barclays Center gli Mtv Video Music Awards 2013, che come ogni anno premiano i video musicali più belli degli ultimi mesi.
A dominare la lista delle nominations quest’anno sono il principe del pop Justin Timberlake e il gruppo rap di Macklemore & Lewis con sei nomination a testa: seguono a ruota Pink, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus e Robin Thicke.
Fra i primi performers annunciati spuntano i nomi di Katy Perry e, soprattutto, quello di Lady Gaga, la quale ha rivelato che presenterà il primo singolo del nuovo disco Artpop (ancora senza titolo) nel corso di un’esibizione molto attesa, visti gli show alla quale la cantante ci ha abituati (pensiamo per esempio all’ottima performance di Paparazzi durante i VMA’s del 2009).
Riuscirà Lady Gaga a stupirci ancora una volta? Non ci resta che aspettare.
Ecco tutte le nomination dei Video Music Awards 2013.
