Sam Smith

Taylor Swift tops the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards nominations.

She leads with eight - seven for her "Anti-Hero" music video and a nod in the artist of the year category - followed by SZA, who has six, MTV announced on Tuesday.

From music legends Bob Dylan, Lionel Richie and Iggy Pop to newer stars like Gayle and Sam Smith, the Montreux Jazz Festival unveiled on April 5 a vast and varied line-up for this summer's shows.

The 88th Academy Awards show kicks off on Sunday and celebrities will start lining the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre.

After months of preparation for Hollywood’s most glamorous night, the show will begin on Sunday, February 28 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood and will air live on the ABC broadcast network.

British singers Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith took two prizes each at a glittering Brit Awards on Wednesday marred by a mishap that saw Madonna dragged to the ground by her cape.
      

The 57th annual Grammy Awards, broadcast on Sunday night from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, had it all, without buts… unless you exclude Madonna’s butt that stole the show. The 56-year-old singer showed up in a see-through black mini dress by Givenchy that particularly showed off her bust. She offered the paparazzi the full view.

Sam Smith stormed the 57th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles last night. The British artist was the big winner at the ceremony, taking home four awards - Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album.

"Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys," Smith said, quoted by the BBC.

Sam Smith, the British soul singer who was virtually unknown a year ago, dominated the Grammys Sunday with four awards, although adventurous rocker Beck was the surprise winner of Album of the Year honors.
 

Fresh-faced Sam Smith could make history Feb. 8 at the Grammys with a chance to sweep top categories, but the music industry's big night could also coronate Beyonce or Pharrell Williams.
