The singer is up for nine awards including 'Best Female Video', 'Best Pop Video' and the main accolade of 'Video of the Year' for her single 'Firework'.
Taking to Twitter to express her happiness over the nominations, Perry exclaimed: "I can't sleep...I'm so excited... It feels like every birthday/christmas/first kiss I ever had. Thanks so much for believing in me. I owe u. (sic)"
The 26-year-old performer then revealed that she was "off to dream up the outfit(s)" for the ceremony, which will take place on August 28 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
Perry also spared a thought for her friends and tour support acts who didn't receive any nominations.
She said: "I do miss my RiRi, (s&m) Swifty, (back to dec) Kesha (blow) & Robyn (every vid!) Jessie J, (pricetag) in the/any categories #ohmanitstough"
Perry recently insisted that she is not offended by music critics who pan her work.
