One of music’s biggest nights of the year is here, and the 2024 VMAs nominees were revealed earlier this summer!
The show will take place on September 10 in New York and will celebrate 40 years of historical moments in the music industry. From Madonna‘s iconic 80s hit “Like a Virgin” at the very first VMAs, to Christina Aguilera presenting Eminem with Best Male Video amid their ongoing feud to Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech, the MTV awards have given fans a lot to talk about through the decades.
As many can expect, the headliner of the year, Taylor Swift, takes the lead with 10 nominations. Following behind with several nominations are Ariana Grande, Eminem, Post Malone, and Sabrina Carpenter earning six each. Megan Thee Stallion and SZA each have five nods. Lastly, with four total nominations are Olivia Rodrigo, Teddy Swims, and LISA. See the full list of the 2024 VMAs nominees below:
