Tutte le nominations degli MTV Video Music Awards 2024
I due artisti con più candidature sono Taylor Swift, a quota dieci, e Post Malone con nove. Tra gli altri anche Ariana Grande, SZA e Chappell Roan
Dici VMAs e subito ripensi all’edizione del 2009, quando Kanye West salì sul palco durante il discorso di premiazione di Taylor Swift per protestare contro la mancata vittoria di Beyoncé. A quindici anni di distanza la cantautrice è ancora lì, tra i candidati, anzi, è quella con più nominations di tutti, ben dieci. E viene anche dalle quattro statuette dello scorso anno, quando si aggiudicò gli ambiti premi di video, canzone e artista dell’anno, oltre che quello di migliore canzone pop. Gli MTV Video Music Awards si terranno a New York il prossimo 10 settembre e, in questo 2024, l’unico che sembra impensierire la Swift è uno degli artisti che ha collaborato con lei: Post Malone.
Gli artisti con più nominations agli MTV Video Music Awards
Il cantautore, in procinto di pubblicare il suo primo album country F-1 Trillion il 16 agosto, è in lizza per nove premi agli MTV Video Music Awards 2024, tutti in collaborazione. Da un lato con Taylor Swift per Fortnight, dall’altro con Greg Wallen per una delle hit dell’estate I Had Some Help. A proposito di canzoni d’alta classifica, tra i brani candidati per il premio Song of the Year ci sono anche TEXAS HOLD ‘EM di Beyoncé, Espresso di Sabrina Carpenter e il diss di Kendrick Lamar Not Like Us. Quest’ultima non è candidata nella categoria miglior canzone hip hop e in quella dei video, in quanto il pezzo è intorno alla scadenza del termine ultimo del 20 giugno. Lo stesso discorso vale anche per Chappell Roan (solo due nominations, Best New Artist e MTV Push) e Charli Xcx.
Benson Boone, Gracie Abrams, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims e Tyla sono gli altri artisti inclusi nella categoria MTV Video Music Awards Best New Artist. Quattro di questi – ad eccezione di Abrams e Tyla che hanno già vinto un “grammofono” – probabilmente saranno nominati il prossimo 8 novembre nella medesima categoria dei Grammy Awards, vinta l’anno scorso da Victoria Monét.
Dietro a Taylor Swift, che vincendo quattro premi supererebbe il record di Beyoncé, e Post Malone ci sono Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter ed Eminem con sei candidature. Megan Thee Stallion, SZA sono a quota cinque, mentre LISA, Olivia Rodrigo e Teddy Swims a quattro.
