Beyonce dominates MTV video nominations, Taylor Swift shut outBeyonce's critically-praised visual album "Lemonade" on Tuesday earned the R&B singer a career-best 11 nominations for the MTV Video Music Awards, in a list that included multiple nods for Adele and rapper Kanye West but nothing for Taylor Swift. The MTV Video Music Awards, which have a reputation for irreverence and shock tactics, take place this year in New York City on Aug. 28 and will air live on MTV. Swift, 26, the top-earning celebrity in the world, has dominated music awards shows in the past five years and won four MTV music video prizes in 2015, including for her single "Bad Blood" with Kendrick Lamar. Beyonce's album "Lemonade" in April featured music videos for each track and was praised for its bold songs about betrayal and revenge. The controversial video for West's "Famous" - which features portrayals of 12 nude celebrities including Swift sleeping next to the rapper - got two nominations, including the top award of video of the year.
