MTV VMAs 2024: Taylor Swift dominates with 10 nominations and might break a record

Taylor Swift is absolutely slaying the MTV Video Music Awards 2024, leading the nominations with a surprising 10 nods. Her collaboration with Post Malone on “Fortnight” has clearly struck a chord for MTV, as the dynamic duo racks up eight nominations together.

Following the “Tortured Poets Department” creator, Ariana Grande, Eminem, and Sabrina Carpenter are making waves with six nominations each. Similarly, Megan Thee Stallion and SZA are boasting five nods each. Finally, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Olivia Rodrigo, and Teddy Swims are tied with four nominations each.

Now, here are some of the important records that could be achieved this year: if Taylor Swift wins four Moon Persons, she will tie Beyoncé as the top winner in the show’s history (unless Beyoncé wins an award this year for Texas Hold’Em.”). If Eminem wins one Moon Person, he will become the man with the most VMAs in history, with 13. Finally, BLACKPINK’s Lisa is the most nominated K-pop act, so if she wins all four categories, she will become the most-awarded solo K-pop act.
