Katy Perry Shades VMAs Via Twitter For 'Roar' Snub

"Roar" deserves an award...or at least a nomination, so Katy Perry says.

Perry received two nominations for this year's MTV VMAs but the show left Perry's hit "Roar," which she premiered at last year's show, out to dry.

Following the announcement of the nominees, Perry took to Twitter to throw some shade at the awards show for snubbing her vid.

Perry's "Dark Horse" earned two nominations, for Best Female Video and Best Collaboration.

Lady Gaga was snubbed entirely with no nominations while Beyonce leads the pack with eight nods.

View the entire list of nominees below.
