Each of MTV’s award shows is worth waiting for, and MTV Europe Music Awards are coming our way next month. The list of nominees for the MTV EMAs is finally in, with Taylor Swift, SZA, and Olivia Rodrigo leading the way.
After dominating this year’s MTV VMAs, Swift is coming into another award ceremony as the main contender. She’s in the running in seven different categories, including best song and best video with “Anti-Hero”, in addition to best artist, best pop, best live, biggest fans, and best US act.
Swift’s “Anti-Hero” will have to face some pretty tough competition in the best song categories, where Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”, Jung Kook’s “Seven” ft. Latto, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, SZA’s “Kill Bill”, and “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez also received nods.
Most of the same tracks are also in the running for the best video award, with the exceptions of Jung Kook’s “Seven” and “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez. “Gorilla” by Little Simz and “Bongos” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion took their spots in this category.
The 2023 MTV EMAs will return to the Paris Nord Villepinte in Paris, France on November 5, and the list of major contenders also includes Olivia Rodrigo and SZA with six nods and Doja Cat, Måneskin, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj with four each.
