In just over a fortnight, Taylor Swift might be snagging some shiny new awards. MTV's 2024 Video Music Awards nominations dropped on August 6, and Swift is leading the pack with a whopping 10 nods. She's up for the coveted Video of the Year for Fortnight. If she clinches this, she’ll set a new record as the first artist to win this category five times. Swift is also vying for Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Collaboration with Post Malone. Post Malone isn’t far behind, racking up nine nominations, including Best Collaboration with Swift and for his track "I Had Some Help" with Morgan Wallen. Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem each snagged six noms, while Megan Thee Stallion and SZA grabbed five apiece. Even Beyonce has nominations but in one. VMAs 2023: Rema and Selena Gomez’s 'Calm Down' Wins First Best Afrobeats Award (Watch Video).
