From that Britney Spears and Madonna onstage smooch to Beyoncé’s pregnancy reveal to Lady Gaga covering herself in blood, the MTV Video Music Awards have hosted some truly memorable pop culture moments. And now, fans can vote on some of their favorites. The 2024 VMAs today announced its four Social Categories including: Song of Summer, presented by Hilton; Best Group; and two all-new categories with VMAs Most Iconic Performance and Best Trending Video. The Most Iconic Performance category celebrates some of the most memorable VMAs performances from the history of the show. In addition to the aforementioned moments, the performances of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” Eminem’s “Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am,” Katy Perry’s “Roar,” and Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” are also nominated. The other new category — Best Trending Video — celebrates the artist’s videos and/or songs that inspired fandoms to generate tremendous content related to the video and/or song.
