When are the VMAs? MTV Music Awards 2024 date, time and location
Taylor Swift is the most nominated artist at the 2024 VMAs, 12 months after picking up a record nine awards.
After barely being out of the headlines in recent times, it will surprise few to learn Taylor Swift leads the way in terms of nominations for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards.
Everything you need to need about the 2024 VMAs
The latest edition of the gala will take place on Tuesday, September 10 at at the 19,000-capacity UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Although we don’t yet know who will be hosting the ceremony, we do know that it will get underway at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
Swift will almost certainly take home at least one of MTV’s coveted ‘Spaceman’ statuettes after receiving 10 nominations, including for Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Artist of the Year and Best Pop Artist.
The “Shake It Off” singer has won 23 VMAs to date, nine of which came in 2023, the record for a single year.
Mainly thanks to his collaboration with Swift on “Fortnight,” which is up for prizes in eight categories, Post Malone is the second most nominated artist with nine. Sabrina Carpenter, Eminem and Ariana Grande are all up for six awards, and SZA and Megan Thee Stallion have five nominations each.
