Another big awards show is coming up! In a few weeks, the MTV Video Music Awards will air. This is a big night for the music world. MTV recently announced this year’s nominations. Here’s what you need to know.
All important information about the VMAs
The MTV Video Music Awards will take place on Wednesday, September 11th. The ceremony will start at 8pm local time. This means that the show won’t start until 2am for us. If you don’t want to stay up for the show, the red carpet usually starts a few hours before. The awards show was originally supposed to take place a day earlier, but MTV has decided to move the ceremony back a day due to a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris that will take place on the same day. The MTV VMAs will take place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
Who is nominated?
This year, Taylor Swift already wins the award for the artist with the most nominations. This year, she managed to get ten nominations for categories such as ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Artist of the Year’ and ‘Best Pop’. She is also nominated for ‘Video of the Year’ for her video for the song Fortnight with Post Malone. If she wins this award this year, she will be the first artist ever to win the award three times in a row and five times in total. Post Malone is hot on Taylor Swift’s heels when it comes to nominations. He has nine. Other artists with many nominations are Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Eminem. They all have six nominations. Other big names who are nominated this year are Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé.
