Taking place in New York City on September 10, the event promises to be full of high drama and great performances. Leading the nominations is pop icon Taylor Swift who has been nominated for an impressive ten awards, among which is the coveted Video of the Year award. Close behind her is Post Malone with 9 nominations, making this year’s awards even more exciting.
Taylor Swift Rides High
The fact that Taylor Swift still maintains dominance in these nominations shows how much she continues to influence and shine in the music word. Winning this will make it her fifth win in five years’ time and three years consecutively for video of the year category. In previous years, she won it through “Bad Blood” (2015), “You need to calm Down (2019)” besides “Anti-Hero” and “All too well: The short film” within two prior ones . Her ongoing musical relevance underscores incredible career advancements and ever present magnetism.
The Competitors of Taylor Swift
Some of the nominees for this year’s Video of the Year include “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” by Ariana Grande, “Lunch” by Billie Eilish, and Eminem’s “Houdini.” Post Malone’s collaboration with Taylor Swift on “Fortnight,” however, is a front runner. The combination of its uniqueness and its acceptance globally could easily enable them to be victorious in this classification.
What Else to Look Out For
In addition to Video of the Year, other significant categories are Artist of the Year, Song of the Year plus Best New Artist. Taylor Swift has been nominated for Artist of the Year together with heavyweights like Ariana Grande as well as Eminem. Other entries from Beyoncé and Jack Harlow among others have also made it into the category for Song of the Year.
Best Collaboration vs Best Pop
High-profile pairings such as Drake collaborating with Sexyy Red & SZA and Taylor Swift herself doing a duet with Post Malone are some of those found within Best Collaboration. For instance, in Best Pop category you will find popular artists like Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo but Taylor Swift’s nomination here shows that she indeed cuts across genres strongly.
