The MTV VMAs are raining nominations all over Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga.
The two singers each scored nine nominations for the upcoming MTV VMAs, scheduled for next month.
Grande and Gaga teamed up for the summer anthem “Rain On Me,” off of Gaga’s “Chromatica” album.
Billie Eilish and The Weeknd follow with six nominations each.

“We’re excited to unveil the incredible list of VMA nominees who shaped this year’s unique landscape and bring fans a show that celebrates the powerful unifying force of music,” Bruce Gillmer, President of Music, Music Talent, Programming & Events for ViacomCBS Media Networks, said in a statement.
