Taylor Swift vs Nicki Minaj in Tweet Exchange on VMAs

New Delhi: Singer Taylor Swift's scoring of several nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards appeared to have not gone down well with Nicki Minaj.

Taylor Swift, who is in the running for Video of the Year for Bad Blood, however presumed that the last tweet referred to her.

The VMA Awards will be held on August 30 and will be hosted by Miley Cyrus.
