The fame monster and the girl who kissed one lead the charge this year for the MTV Europe Awards. Both Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have scooped up 5 nominations for the event set to be held in Madrid on November the 7th.

The race for pop-podium glory is on as Gaga and Perry go head to head in four categories: Best Pop Act, Best Song, Best Female Act and Best Video. Gaga’s fifth nomination is for Best Live act while Perry picks up a nod for Best World Stage performance, having hosted last year’s ceremony.

Katy Perry will perform on the night, and we’re sure to see a stellar performance for the Lady of crazy whether she’s on stage or off. In line with the ceremonies location maybe we’ll see a chorizo gown on Gaga.
