Taylor Swift once again dominates MTV Video Music Awards nominations list by getting 10 nods, including eight for her Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight” and its video. Post Malone got one extra nomination (Best Collaboration, for “I Had Some Help,” with Morgan Wallen), putting him in second overall, followed by Eminem, Ariana Grande and first-time nominee Sabrina Carpenter, who got 6 nods each. Close behind them are Megan Thee Stallion and SZA, with five each, and Blackpink’s Lisa, Olivia Rodrigo, and Teddy Swims with four nominations for 2024 MTV VMAs.
Eminem is one of the most nominated artist in the history of the MTV VMAs. The Detroit legend has been nominated for 66 times and won 13 awards, including 6 is now pending. The first win came in 1999 in “Best New Artist in a Video” category for “My Name Is” music video. The last nominations was in 2022 when his joint with Snoop Dogg, “From The D 2 The LBC” was nominated in Best Hip-Hop category but lost to Nicki Minaj’s “Do We Have a Problem?” featuring Lil Baby.
The 2024 VMAs return to New York live on the East Coast from UBS Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show will be held just four days shy of the 40th anniversary of the inaugural VMAs at Radio City Music Hall, where Madonna stole the show.
If Eminem wins one award, he will break out of tie with Peter Gabriel as the man with the most VMAs in history. The Rap God also extends his record for most ‘Video of the Year’ nominations in #VMAs history (8). He has yet to receive the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award… Check out the list of nominations for 2024 MTV VMAs below.
