‘Twas the night before the Video Music Awards, and all through the CNU HerCampus chapter, the girlies were setting up their predictions and premonitions of this year’s legendary winners. The VMA’s are a time for music lovers to gather together and reminiscently review the past year’s bangers that hit the charts. The actual award show itself is iconic for its prior news-shattering performances, album announcements, and acceptance speeches. Wednesday September 11 is the dawn of new pop culture memes, historical references, and verbal fights on social media on who should have won in the people’s eye. Below is our hopeful manifestations from our Tuesday night meeting before, and the comparison to the real results revealed on the big stage.
Our favorite artist’s favorite artists
During our meeting, we took to the polls and voted for who WE PERSONALLY BELIEVE SHOULD (not who we can predict the music council will choose) win these categories: Artist of the Year, New Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Video of the Year, Best Collab, and Best Pop. In a pie chart, we measured what artist landed in the majority for these selected categories. The CNU HerCampus has spoken and we had elected these as our coveted winners:
Artist of the Year– Sabrina Carpenter: 50% majority win
New Artist of the Year– Chappell Roan: 77.3% majority win
Song of the Year– Espresso (by Sabrina Carpenter): 68.2% majority win
Video of the Year– We Can’t Be Friends (by Ariana Grande): 31.8% majority win
Best Collab– Fortnight (Taylor Swift ft. Post Malone): 45.5% majority win
Best Pop– Sabrina Carpenter: 40.9% majority win
