Taylor Swift, female artists lead in nods

We all know that women have dominated the music scene this past year, but get this: 10 of the 11 artists with the most nominations for the 2024 MTV EMAs are women. The only man to crack the rankings is Kendrick Lamar, with four nods.

Taylor Swift leads with seven nods, including best artist, best video, best pop and biggest fans. Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter each scored five nominations. Following closely with four nods each are Ayra Starr, Beyoncé, Lamar, LISA, plus first-time nominees Chappell Roan and Tyla.

These nominees also demonstrate the globalization of pop music. Charli XCX is from England; Starr from Nigeria; LISA from Thailand (although she is best known as a member of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK); and Tyla from South Africa.

The show will be broadcast live from Co-op Live in Manchester, UK on Sunday 10 November. Last year’s ceremony was scheduled for November 5 in Paris but was canceled two weeks before the show due to the Israel-Hamas war, becoming the first EMA to be canceled in its 30-year history.

Nineteen nominees have the chance to score their first-ever MTV EMA at this year’s show, including Kehlani and Tinashe in the best R&B category, Disclosure and Fred Again.. for best electronic, Fontaines DC for best alternative, The Last Dinner Party for Best New and BTS’ Jimin for Best K-pop, marking his first nomination as a solo artist.

Fans can vote for their favorites on the EMA website from now until 00:00 CET on November 6.

The winner in the best video category is chosen by MTV. The nominees are Grande’s ‘We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)’, Charli Two weeks.”

Fans from 23 regions around the world can also vote for their favorite artists in the top regional act categories. These categories reflect the areas in which MTV operates. The category with the biggest fans will be voted on at a later date on social media via @MTVEMA.

The 2024 MTV EMAs will air on Sunday, November 10 at 9pm GMT on MTV UK, Channel 5 and Pluto TV, and will be available on-demand on Paramount+ from November 12. Tickets will go on sale at a later date.

Bruce Gillmer and Richard Godfrey are executive producers for the 2024 MTV EMAs. Debbie Phillips and Chloe Mason are producers.

This will be the eighth time the EMAs have been held in Great Britain. The show has been to London three times, and to Liverpool, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; Belfast, Northern Ireland; and Glasgow, Scotland, once each.
