2016 MTV Video Music Awards
The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards will be held on August 28, 2016 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, NY. This will be a star studded event. We start the night knowing that Beyonce led the nominations with a total of eleven. Adele’s “Hello” is the most nominated video. Rihanna is set to receive the Vanguard Award. Kanye West will be given 4 minutes to speak uninterrupted at this ceremony. Fresh off her Carpool Karaoke appearance Britney Spears is slated to preform.
VMA trophy history tells us that three ideas were submitted. A sneaker, a container of popcorn (now the MTV Movie Award) and the now convented Moonman. Modonna is the artist with most VMA Moonmen.
The Pre-show is being hosted by DJ Khaled, Charlamagne Tha God and Lizzo. The show itself has not official host. The shows presenters include Sean “Diddy” Comb, Ansel Elgort, Jimmy Fallon, Fifth Harmony, Alicia Keys, Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman just to name a few. Keegan-Michael Key & Jordan Peele will be in-character as fictional social media influencers. They better do bloggers right, lol!
Some of the musical performances include Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, Nick JonasTy Dolla $ign, Britney Spears, G-Eazy, Future, G-Eazy, Beyoncé and of course Rihanna.

FYI:
You can follow this blog on Bloglovin here. Also lately I’ve be doing most of my posting on snapchat@fatgirl_fashion. My snapchat friends were the first to know about the location I selected for my blog’s 3rd year anniversary brunch that happened on June 12th. They saw first hand my Beyonce’s Formation tour experience, and my NYC trip for theCurvycon. I was in L.A. in August for BlogHer & some fun in the sun. Then off to ATL for TCFStyleExpo. Followed up by trip to Florida for the Black Enterprise Golf Tennis Challenge. Be sure to follow me on snapchat so you don’t miss any of the action. thefatgirloffashion.com can be found on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter also.
