Not only that, Beyonce has eight nominations this year and will be awarded the night's most coveted award, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. This lifetime achievement honor was also awarded to the likes of Madonna, George Michael, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson.

Meanwhile, another favorite pop star will be performing on the 2014 VMA and she is none other than Taylor Swift. According to Perez Hilton, Swift is confirmed to perform with an explosive solo performance. The author also hinted that Swift might perform a new song.

Other confirmed performers of the night include Usher, 5 Seconds of Summer, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora. The list of additional performers as well as presenters will be announced in the coming days or weeks.
