The MTV Video Music Awards air Sunday, August 27 live on MTV at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

9 Songs You Gotta Hear on #NewMusicFriday
View StoryTaylor Swift will debut her music video
Taylor Swift will premiere the full music video for her new single "Look What You Made Me Do" at Sunday's Video Music Awards, hosted by her arch-enemy Katy Perry.
After debuting the track late Thursday night, the 27-year-old singer released a 20-second preview of the video on "Good Morning America" this morning.
Showing a car crash, skull-adorned throne, snake jewelry and a dark and bitter Swift biting down on a string of diamonds before calling her all-male dance squad into formation, the clip certainly piqued our interest.
Fans on Twitter are speculating that the lyrics are a direct response to her very public feuds with Perry, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who are all VMA regulars, and how their drama with the singer has played out in public.
"I don't like you little games, don't like your tilted stage, the role you made me play -- the fool -- I don't like you," she sings. "I don't like your perfect crime, how you laugh when you lie, you said the gun was mine. No, I don't like you."
The sound is different than what fans are used to hearing from the pop and country star, but according to the lyrics there's a reason for that.
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Because she's dead."
"Look What You Made Me Do" is the first track off of Swift's highly anticipated new album, "Reputation," set to release Nov. 10.

View StoryThings may get political and that's okay
MTV has announced they have invited active transgender military members to Sunday's show in order to continue to promote equality of all people.
Unfortunately, the honor may fall through since active duty military members have strict restrictions when it comes to participating in high-profiled events in the public eye.
"At this time the Department of Defense is reviewing the parameters of the request" Pentagon Spokesman Lt. Col. Paul Haverstick told CNN Wednesday.
The news comes after Donald Trump recently tweeted about enforcing a transgender ban in the U.S. forces.

View StoryFour major changes
MTV is switching things up to become more gender friendly at this year's Video Music Awards.
The network that made music videos cool renamed their iconic "Moon Man" to "Moon Person" in an effort to match society's evolving attitude and understanding of gender.
"Why should it be a man," MTV president Chris McCarthy told the New York Times. "It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it could be nonconformist."
MTV also combined their Best Female Video and Best Male Video categories to allow women to face off against the men. Similarly, there will only be one Artist of the Year, instead of the previous separate categories for men and woman.
On that note, the VMA's are introducing the Best Fight Against The System category this year to celebrate videos that inspire fans to stand up for what they believe in.
Lastly, MTV decided to not continue their attempt to use celebrity commentators like they did last year with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. The awards will pick back up with one celebrity host.
