Who's taking home a moonman: Spotify determined their best possible predictions for which performers will take home the coveted moonman awards for VMA music categories this year based on what songs and nominees have been listened to the most amongst it's 75 million subscribers.
Unfortunately, Taylor Swift's metrics may not exactly add up, being that the artist pulled her entire music library off of Spotify earlier in the year.
