MTV's Video Music Awards are this Sunday, and the real question on everyone's mind is: What kind of drama is Taylor Swift going to be involved with?

The "1989" singer has been the center of a couple of the award show's most famous (or infamous) moments, including her feud with Niki Minaj last year and the iconic "I'mma let you finish" moment from 2009.

Because of all this attention, Swift is one of the most popular guests at the show, according to an organizer who says that everybody wants to sit next to her. 

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, MTV's vice president for MTV music and talent, Gina Esposito, explained that celebs can request who they want to sit next to, and that Swift is by far the most-requested. 

"She has so many good friends, and it was hard to figure out the 'Taylor' of it all [in past years] because so many people were requesting to sit by her and sit with her," she told Cosmo. "She's often really requested."

Swift has a large squad, yes, but she's also a magnet for the camera at the VMAs, and if you're sitting next to her, you're more likely to get a lot of camera time yourself by association.

You know, because of moments like this:

We don't know who is going to be sitting next to Swift this year (or even confirmation that she's attending). Still, if we had to guess, there are probably at least four people who, uh, aren't requesting a spot next to the "Blank Space" singer.
