2024 MTV VMA nominations: See the full list here

In just over two weeks, Taylor Swift could take home a golden award.

Nominations for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards were first announced on August 6, with a number of social categories announced later that month.

Swift leads the field with 12 nominations, including one for the event's big prize, Video of the Year for “Fortnight.”

If she wins, she would extend her own record and become the first artist to win the Moon Man in that category five times. Swift is also nominated for the award for Artist of the Year, and the song also earned her a nomination for Song of the Year and Best Collaboration with Post Malone.

Speaking of Malone, he's hot on Swift's heels, with 11 nominations of his own. Not only is Malone nominated in the Best Collaboration with Swift category, but he's also nominated for his hit “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.

29 candidates are nominated for the first time, including names such as Wallen, Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll and Swims.
