Lady Gaga had two VMA nominations on 27 September
Published on 09/30/2026 at 11:47 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael MĂĽller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSLady Gaga had two nominations at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on 27 September 2026. The ceremony took place at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Lady Gaga’s Runway video reached two VMA categories
Lady Gaga and Doechii’s Runway appeared in Best Dance and Best Art Direction, according to the official nomination list. Both categories concerned the same collaboration, linking its dance classification with its visual design.
Best Dance returned for the ceremony, while Best Art Direction placed the video among the programme’s visual craft categories. The official list also identifies the work with Lil Monsters, Top Dawg Entertainment, Interscope Records and Capitol Records.
Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM era moves between songs and screens
The nominations sit alongside Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM material. The Apple Music listing presents Apple Music Live: MAYHEM Requiem as a concert release built around a reimagining of that album.
The live project extends the album’s industrial and electro-funk textures into a concert setting, while Runway gives the cycle a separate video-led identity. Together, the releases show two connected sides of Gaga’s work, with one designed for live reinterpretation and the other for a collaborative music video.
Runway connects Lady Gaga with Doechii at the VMAs
The shared billing is central to the nomination because the same Runway video appears in both categories rather than being split between separate works. Doechii’s contribution also places the entry within the collaboration-focused side of the ceremony’s wider programme.
The 2026 ceremony therefore linked Lady Gaga’s pop writing to visual direction, dance presentation and a credited partnership. Its Los Angeles setting provided the stage for those categories on 27 September 2026.
