The 2024 nominees nominees were announced on Tuesday (August 6). Taylor Swift leads the pack with 10 nods, one of which is for Video of the Year for her “Fortnight” music video featuring Post Malone. Should she beat fellow nominees Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, SZA and Eminem, she would extend her record for the most wins in that category.
So far, she’s won the award four times. Rapper and singer Malone racked up nine VMA nominations himself, mostly due to his collaborative effort on Swift’s song “Fortnight,” but he also earned a separate nomination for his song “I Had Some Help” featuring Morgen Wallen. Eminem, Grande and Sabrina Carpenter trail behind with six nominations each, while SZA and Megan Thee Stallion also earned five apiece.
Meanwhile, 29 artists, including Chappell Roan, Benson Boone, Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll and Teddy Swims, became first-time nominees.
