Women Artists, Led by Taylor Swift, Dominate 2024 MTV EMA Nominations: Here’s the Full List

We all know that women have been dominating the music scene in the past year, but get this: 10 of the 11 artists with the most nominations for the 2024 MTV EMAs are women. The only man who cracked the leaderboard 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. Closely following 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 hails from England; Starr from Nigeria; LISA from Thailand (though she is best known as a member of a South Korean girl group, BLACKPINK); and Tyla from South Africa.

The show is set to be broadcast live on Sunday, Nov. 10, from Co-op Live in Manchester, U.K. Last year’s ceremony was set for Nov. 5 in Paris, but was canceled two weeks before the show due to the Israel–Hamas war, becoming the first EMAs 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 D.C. for best alternative, The Last Dinner Party for best new and BTS’ Jimin for best K-pop, which marks his first nomination as a solo artist.

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

The winner in the best video category will be chosen by MTV. The nominees are Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” Charli XCX’s “360,” Eminem’s “Houdini,” Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” LISA featuring Rosalía’s “New Woman” and Swift featuring Post Malone’s “Fortnight.”

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

The 2024 MTV EMAs will broadcast at 9 p.m. GMT Sunday, Nov. 10, on MTV UK, Channel 5 and Pluto TV, and will be available on demand on Paramount+ from Nov. 12. Tickets will be 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 the U.K. The show has been in London three times, and in Liverpool, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; Belfast, Northern Ireland; and Glasgow, Scotland once each.
