Gaga loves prestigious awards 

But on another note, she has never mentioned that she loves awards lol

MTV awards are irrelevant since 2013

Gaga is in the field of Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes ect...

So we have some six months until the 2019 VMAs and I’m sure the folks over at MTV have already started losing sleep over who they’ll ask to accept the Vanguard award and if they’ll agree . I think there are six people with a real possibility of being asked this year.

Lady Gaga: She’s obviously just had one of the biggest years in her career. For the past two ceremonies fans on twitter have hounded MTV for not choosing her and even Jennifer Lopez said she would like to see Gaga take the award eventually. Perhaps the biggest thing working in Gaga’s favor is the ratings of the Grammys and Oscars. There were articles that claimed a direct correlation between Gaga and the Oscars boost in viewers this year. MTV is in dire need of a boost in their viewership and I’m sure those headlines caught their eyes. I think she’ll be asked, but I’m not sure she’ll accept.

Drake: He just had two astronomical eras in recent years with Views and Scorpion. His streaming power is incredible and he’s enough of a controversial artist that MTV might see him as a way to attract a lot of attention for the VMAs. His audience is also exactly the type of group MTV wants to cater to. I can personally see Drake and his team pursuing MTV for the award.

Taylor Swift: There are rumors flying around like crazy that her new album is coming a lot sooner than we originally thought. If Taylor wished it, I’m sure she could easily convince MTV to give her the award so she could use it as a platform to promote her new era. She’s set the bar high for herself with the success of reputation and its tour, so I’m sure she’s looking to get creative with the rollout of the new album and the VMAs stage might be tempting enough for her.

Missy Elliot: The safest option, in my opinion. She’s long overdue for some recognition for all she’s contributed to music and rap culture. Her name, along with Gaga’s, has been brought up by fans these past few years when MTV starts promoting the show. MTV might be looking to make up for the major double take people made last year when Jennifer Lopez was announced as the recipient. Missy is by far the best way of giving the award a little more prestige.

Ariana Grande: MTV could also be looking to shake things up by asking a relatively newer artist to take the award this year. Ariana is the current “it girl” and another streaming powerhouse. She has a massive social media following and they might hope this translates into higher ratings for the show. Ariana also has a big chance of taking home the video of the year award for “Thank U, Next” or “7Rings” so they might want to make it a huge night for her and have her be the center of it all.

Katy Perry: Although she’s in a career slump right now there’s no denying her impressive videography. If not for the visuals then at least for the crazy amount of views she’s accumulated over the years. She hosted in the past so there must be a solid relationship between her and MTV. I think it’s something her label might even pursue to break her out of this rut she’s in.

 

Gaga has declined it in the past.

she’s above it.

But she has so what , Lady Marmalade,, Just Like Fire ,Try , U+ Ur hand, Stupid Blondes and so many others...

By that logic gaga doesn't deserve the award because of Perfect Illusion, Million Reasons and Shallow

The fact that Christina Aguilera isn’t even in that list is disgusting 

I guess that’s what happens when ur album is a commercial failure 

[Decodekid 24,479]

U can tell she does. She gets so exited when she wins and u can see her on edge of her seat during nominations announcements... She cares big time

 

And speaking of prestigious.... Excluding the Grammys there's basically 2 other awards that are of any relevance in American Music... The American Music Awards and the VMAs... So VMAS would be in the top 3 that's pretty prestigious

 

Not sure people's choice awards would count cuz no one really seems to care about those

[loathereality 22,762]

in b4 gaga takes it and we have expectations of lg6 but boom c3c

I think the Billboard Music Awards probs are also of relevance
