Taylor Swift led the nominations for the MTV VMAs 2024 with a very impressive 10 nods.
The 34-year-old hitmaker has the chance to make history as she could become the first artist to ever three-peat top honor Video Of The Year.
If that wasn’t enough it would be the fifth time she would receive the honor as she already has the record for most wins ever in the category.
This year she is nominated for her collaboration with Post Malone titled Fortnight.
The 29-year-old rapper and singer – born Austin Richard Post – trails Taylor by just one nomination as he has earned nine total with most of them being from their collaboration.
