This year’s MTV Music Video Awards (MVAs) have been moved to a new date because of the forthcoming U.S. presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
The VMAs have been moved from the 10th of September to the 11th of September 2024. Scheduled to air at 8 p.m. Eastern, the event will be held at UBS Arena on New York’s Long Island.
Last week, the campaigns of Vice President Harris and Trump agreed to participate in a debate on September 10th, the day the Awards ceremony had earlier been scheduled to be held.
On Tuesday, nominees of this year’s MVAs were announced with Taylor Swift once again leading with the most nominations. She’s followed by her “Fortnight” collaborator Post Malone, who is nominated along with Swift eight times and earned his ninth nom for his country hit “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.
Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter and SZA will be battling in the Artist Of The Year category. Last year 2023, Taylor Swift won huge at the ceremony, bringing her total to 23. That places her just behind Beyoncé, who has 28 (two with Destiny’s Child) and just ahead of Madonna, who has 20 awards, and Lady Gaga, who has 19.
