2024 MTV EMA Awards: Full list of nominations, date venue, how to vote
Taylor Swift dominates this year’s event with seven nominations, followed by Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter.

The MTV EMA Awards return next month with the 2024 edition to be hosted in Manchester for the first time. Last year’s event, which was due to be held in Paris, was canceled two weeks in advance because of the Israel–Hamas war.
Taylor Swift will be busy trekking across North America and Canada with the final leg of her Eras Tour set to resume this weekend, but she does have a break in her itinerary from 4-13 November so in theory, would be able to attend.
