Rosé goes to sleep tomorrow, but tonight after the good news that she received on Tuesday (August 5) will be crazy when the nominations for the MTV VMAS 2025 were announced. The Blackpink star grabbed eight solo nods, which made it shocked.
“So I just heard that I received eight VMA nominations,” said the singer, clearly stunned and emotionally, in a video that was published hours after the nominations were announced in her Instagram stories. “I am more than shocked and just don't know what to say. I am absolutely speechless! This is a crazy day! Who! It's really wild! What happens?!”
She also shared a screenshot of her nominations and wrote about it: “Waaaahhh ???!”
This is the first time that the K-Pop star is nominated as a solo artist for a VMA. It is for a video of the year, the song of the year, the best cooperation, the best pop, the best direction, the best art movement and the best visual effects for Billboard Hot 100 No. 3 HIT “APT”. In addition to Bruno Mars and Best K-Pop for “Toxic Til the End”, the third single from her solo debut album, Rosie.
Your eight nominations make you one of the most nominated artists of the year. Lady Gaga leads at 12 while she is “suitable”. The employee Bruno Mars grabbed 11, Kendrick Lamar deserved 10, Sabrina Carpenter with eight and Ariana Grande and the week with seven each.
Rosé's bandmate also deserves nominations: Jennies “Like Jennie”, Jisoo's “Earthsquake” and Lisas Doja Cat and Raye CollaBG “Born” are all in the Running for Best K-Pop. These nominations are also Jennie and Jisoo's first Solo -VMA nod outside of Blackpink.
