Beyoncé showed everyone who’s QUEEN with her VMA nominations

by

Can Beyoncé get any better? 

The MTV Video Music Award nominations we're announced today, and not only did Bey break the VMA record for the most nominations, she's also smashed her own record of the most nominations in one award ceremony.

The Lemonade singer raked in a massive 11 nods, beating the likes of Adele, Drake and Ariana Grande.

The chart-toppers will go head to head on August 28, and we can see this being the award ceremony of the year (especially if T-Swift arrives and there's a showdown between her and Kanye).

Take a closer look to see if your fave artist is heading for an award:
