Taylor Swift leads the nominations for the MTV VMAs 2024 with 10 nods in the competition, including eight for Fortnight, her collaboration with Post Malone. Fortnight has also been nominated for the coveted Video of the Year award, a prize Swift has won for the last two years running, and picked up four times overall. If she wins again she will become the only artist ever to three-peat and win five times in the category.
The hit singer is also in the running for Artist of the Year, but faces competition from Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter , Ariana Grande, Eminem and SZA. Following closely behind Swift with nine nominations is Post Malone, while Ariana Grande, Eminem and Sabrina Carpenter have bagged 6 each. Megan Thee Stallion and SZA are next, with 5 nods apiece, followed by LISA, Olivia Rodrigo and Teddy Swims, who each received 4 nods.
This year’s nominee list includes 29 first-time contenders, including Carpenter and Swims, Benson Boone, Tyla, Jelly Roll, Jessie Murph, Chappell Roan, Rauw Alejandro, Sexyy Red and Victoria Monét. The VMAs will air live from UBS Arena on 10th September at 8pm ET/PT, and will be based in the New York venue for the first time after taking place at New Jersey’s Prudential Center for the last two years.
