So, how do you get an MTV VMA nomination without releasing a music video? You’re Beyoncé, period. The “Cowboy Carter” singer has been nominated for Song of the Year for "Texas Hold ‘Em" without releasing a music video. With a career spanning over three decades, Beyoncé's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence have solidified her as a trailblazer in the music industry. Except for Beyoncé, all the other nominees had official music videos for their songs. Like Michael Jackson, her legacy has left a lasting influence on fans and critics, making her a suitable VMA nominee. Is it fair that Beyoncé is nominated for Song of the Year without a video at the MTV Video Music Awards? Why or why not?
