Eras Tour star Swift, who has received 17 nominations, is one of two artists who can set a new record on Thursday, December 12.
Taylor Swift may have just finished The Eras Tour but there’s no rest for the wicked, with the pop superstar nominated for a whole host of prizes at the Billboard Music Awards 2024, which take place on Thursday, December 12, starting at 8:00 p.m. ET.
What categories is Taylor Swift nominated in at the Billboard Music Awards 2024?
Swift is nominated 17 times in 16 different categories, which, incredibly enough, doesn’t even make her the the most nominated artist. Here are the gongs the 34-year-old, who turns 35 on Friday, could pick up:

What Billboard Music Awards record can Swift take in 2024?
The Eras Tour star has the chance to take a Billboard Music Awards record on Thursday, although she’s not the only one.
Swift and Drake are tied for the most wins in the history of the Billboard Music Awards, with the duo having collected 39 prizes each to date. The Canadian rapper can also take the record outright, although the fact he is “only” nominated for seven awards in 2024 surely means Swift is more likely to have top spot on her own come the end of the ceremony.
The “Shake It Off” singer is already the most decorated performer in several categories, including Top Artist (also tied with Drake), Top Female Artist and Top Country Artist (tied with Garth Brooks).
