Sam Smith is nominated for both Best Male Video and Artist to Watch and is confirmed to perform on the same stage as Beyonce, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and many more.

The amazing singer-songwriter is currently enjoying success on the Billboard chart with both his debut album and current single "Stay With Me" Top 3 on the Hot 100.

"I'm never going to be this scared again in my life! It's going to be so scary, I don't know what do. Beyonce's going to be there, I'm going to freak out. I watch the VMAs every year and have done since a very young age so this is going to be a very surreal weekend. I get to run through it a few times but I'm not going to be kissing Madonna or sticking my tongue out, so don't be expecting that..the chance to perform at the show for me is what's it all about."

And on Beyonce winning the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, is it deserved..? " Of course! That's a rhetorical question. I might even meet her! That would be great wouldn’t it? Jealous, from her new album, is my favourite video actually.."

Good luck Sam. It's an incredible show, so have an amazing weekend.

Watch the 2014 MTV VMAs on MTV UK this Monday night, 9pm.
