Taylor Swift has added another feather to her cap by topping the list of nominees for this year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), right after her beau Travis Kelce debunked engagement rumours with the superstar. The 34-year-old singer, who won seven VMAs in 2023, has been nominated ten times this year, including eight nods for 'Fortnight', her collaboration with Post Malone. Swift's Fortnight is a contender for Video of the Year, an award she has already won four times, potentially setting her up to break her own record.
Following the release of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , in April, Swift has been touring globally for her Eras Tour . She is also nominated for Artist of the Year, competing with Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter, and SZA. Post Malone leads with nine nominations, including Video of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Collaboration.
Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem have each secured six nominations, while Megan Thee Stallion and SZA have received five nods each. This year's nominations feature 29 first-time contenders, including Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams, and Jelly Roll.
