Walk The Moon's Nicholas Petricca reveals what he would do in a Kanye-Taylor VMAs situation

BY MARAH ALINDOGAN

Walk The Moon's lead singer Nicholas Petricca isn't hoping for a Kanye West-Taylor Swift moment of his own at this year's MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, but if that were the case he has the perfect response already planned.

"I would probably start grinding on them," Petricca told AOL in an exclusive interview. "Whatever they had to say would be eclipsed by the intensity of my butt shaking."

Walk the Moon is slated to perform on the 2015 VMAs red carpet but that's not all they will be there for – their chart-topping summer hit, "Shut Up and Dance," is nominated for "Rock Video of the Year."

Petricca kept it coy when asked about his band's first-ever VMAs nomination.

"It's been a dream to be one of those bands that breakthrough," the songwriter said. "It's been such a ride that when one thing happens we don't tend to celebrate it, we just move onto the next thing."

While the awards show boasts a long history of outrageous fashion moments, the heartthrob singer remained mum about what we can expect from the band – at first.

"We're working on it. I can't tell you," the 28-year-old said before he gave us a tiny clue. "We have a new single called 'Different Colors' which is our victory march for diversity and equality and so our outfits will have to do with that."

The newcomers are also excited to see the big talent that will likely be at the red carpet, and Petricca says he's got his eye on one leading lady.

"I had a really embarrassing run-in with Emma Watson last time. If she's around I hope to redeem myself," confessed the cute crooner.

But if it's any consolation – Petricca can count on "Bad Blood" songstress Taylor Swift to bail him out of any humiliating situation.

Walk the Moon joined Swift earlier this summer at her star-studded "1989" tour. Nicholas and Taylor brought down the house with a duet of "Shut Up and Dance" – complete with matching sparkly jackets.

So of course, Petricca didn't hesitate revealing his top pick for the coveted "Video of the Year" award.

"I have so much respect for that woman. I wouldn't be upset if the she took the Moonman home," Petricca dished while talking about Walk the Moon's upcoming performance at the Lipton Be More Tea Festival.

But, obviously we had to let Petricca finish.

"Also, Bruno Mar's 'Uptown Funk,' which is one of the greatest songs in the last ten years. I've danced at many important dance parties to that song."

We definitely can't wait to see his killer dance moves at this year's VMAs bash.
