People’s Choice Awards 2016: Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber & Madonna Score Nominations
As the fourth quarter in the entertainment industry picks up speed, it is always followed by the broadcasts from the biggest awards ceremonies! The latest to reveal their lengthy list of nominations is the 2016 People’s Choice Awards, which arrived today (November 3).
The ceremony celebrates people in television, film, social media and — the reason why we’re all here — music. Taylor Swift unsurprisingly has the most nominations: Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Pop Artist and Favorite Song for the Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Bad Blood.” Other performers who scored nods are Madonna for both Favorite Music Icon and Favorite Female Artist, Fifth Harmony for Favorite Group and Justin Bieber for Favorite Male Artist. Fetty Wap, Tori Kelly and The Weeknd go head-to-head for Favorite Breakout Artist.
