The Tortured Poets Department artist leads the pack with a whopping 10 nominations. Right behind her are Post Malone, Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem.
Taylor Swift, the singer-songwriter we all can’t get enough of, dominates the 2024 MTV VMAs just like she did last year. Miss Americana is up for major awards like Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop.
Post Malone, riding high on his success, has also snagged nine nominations. His hit collab with Morgan Wallen, I Had Some Help, is up for Best Collaboration. Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter is making her VMA debut with six nominations, joining the ranks of Ariana Grande and Eminem.
