Taylor Swift was crowned as the biggest winner at this year’s MTV VMAs, and she’s getting ready to dominate another major ceremony. The nominations for the MTV Europe Music Awards have been unveiled, and Swift scored a total of seven nods, followed by Olivia Rodrigo and SZA with six each.
Swift is one of the contenders for the best song trophy with “Anti-Hero”, but she’ll have to face tough competition to take it home. The list of nominees also includes Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”, Jung Kook’s “Seven” ft. Latto, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, SZA’s “Kill Bill”, and “Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez.
“Anti-Hero” is also one of the songs in the running for the best music video, where the list of nominees is pretty much the same, with two notable exceptions. “Seven” and “Calm Down” missed out on a nomination, making room for Gorilla” by Little Simz and “Bongos” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
In addition to Swift with seven nods and SZA and Rodrigo with six, the list of notable contenders at the MTV EMAs will also include Doja Cat, Måneskin, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj with four nominations each. The ceremony will take place on November 5, at the Paris Nord Villepinte in Paris, France.
