FULL LIST: Burna Boy, Tems, Tyla others bag nominations for 2024 MTV VMAs

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are one of the music industry’s most anticipated events, bringing together top artists and fans to recognise outstanding achievements in music video production.

Scheduled to take place on 11 September 2024, at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, the ceremony will spotlight the most creative and impactful music videos, artists, and songs released over the past year.

Punch Online reports that the MTV Video Music Awards are an award show presented by the cable channel MTV to honour the best in the music video medium.

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards promise to be a star-studded affair, featuring a nominee list that ranges from industry powerhouses such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Megan Thee Stallion to rising stars like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Gracie Abrams.

The VMAs will be on Wednesday, 11 September, starting at 8:00 p.m. ET, with the red carpet events earlier. The date was moved from 10 September to avoid clashing with the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

There are about 21 categories and voting is ongoing, PUNCH Online reports.
