Former almost-Kennedy Taylor Swift has learned a lesson, she says, from losing her public battle with Nicki Minaj over the VMAs earlier this year.

There weren't a lot of non-Beyoncé related talked-about moments at this year's VMAs, but one that came sort of close was Nicki Minaj's wardrobe malfunction during the show's (great) opening performance. But was that almost-talked-about-but-not blooper planned all along?

The nominees for the totally relevant 2013 MTV Video Music Awards have been announced. Justin Timberlake and those "Thrift Shop" dudes are up for six awards each.
