Taylor Swift leads MTV VMA nominees
Taylor Swift has earned ten nominations for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Taylor Swift leads the list of nominees for the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).
The 34-year-old singer - who won seven VMAs in 2023 - has received ten nominations in total, including eight for 'Fortnight', her collaboration with Post Malone.
'Fortnight' is in contention for the Video of the Year accolade, which is considered to be the most prestigious of all of the awards. Taylor has actually won the gong four times already, and she could soon extend her own record.
The chart-topping star released her latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department', in April, while Taylor has also been travelling the world for her Eras Tour.
Taylor is contention for the Artist of the Year gong, too, although she'll face stiff competition from Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter and SZA.
Elsewhere, Post Malone has received as many as nine nominations, including nods in the Video of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Collaboration categories.
Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Eminem have all earned six nominations each, while rap stars Megan Thee Stallion and SZA have both received five nominations.
This year's list actually features as many as 29 first-time nominees, which includes the likes of Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams, and Jelly Roll.
Music fans are able to vote for their favorite artists via MTV.com until August 30.
However, voting for the Best New Artist gong - which is being contested by Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tyla - will remain open until September 10.
The MTV VMAs will be staged at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 10.
