Lady Gaga may just have to get used to this.
Just one year after crashing the Video Music Awards with eight nominations, the "Alejandro" singer has upped the ante once again by piling up a record 13 noms for this year's VMAs. Not only did she set a new bar for total nominations, Gaga also became the first female artist nominated for two different clips in the coveted Video of the Year category for "Bad Romance" and "Telephone."
