Taylor Swift leads the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards nominations, followed by Post Malone

The 'Tortured Poets Department' superstar once again leads the MTV VMA nominations with 10 nods - eight for her 'Fortnight' music video, as well as nominations for Artist of the Year and Best Pop categories.

Following her is her 'Fortnight' collaborator, Post Malone, who received eight nominations alongside Swift and earned a ninth for his country hit 'I Had Some Help', featuring Morgan Wallen.

The Artist of the Year category also includes Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter, and SZA, as announced on Tuesday.

Last year, Swift took home nine VMAs, bringing her career total to an impressive 23. This places her just behind Beyoncé, who currently has 28 (including two with Destiny’s Child), and ahead of Madonna, with 20 awards, and Lady Gaga, with 19.

Following Swift and Malone, Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem each have six nominations, while Megan Thee Stallion and SZA have five apiece.

Blackpink's LISA, pop rocker Olivia Rodrigo, and American singer-songwriter Teddy Swims follow with four nominations each.

This year, there are 29 first-time nominees, including Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, Swims, Chappell Roan, Coco Jones, Gracie Abrams and the multi-BRIT award winning RAYE.

The VMAs will be held at the UBS Arena on New York's Long Island on 11 September 2024. Fan voting is now open online across 15 gender-neutral categories and ends 30 August.
