Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift Lead MTV VMA Nominations

Ladies rule the 2019 Video Music Award nominations, with Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift leading this year’s list of contenders for the annual MTV award show at 10 nominations each.

The VMA nominations have also recognized recent break-through talent Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X. Each are up for best new artist. They both also received nominations for video of the year.

The VMAs introduced two new categories this year. One is best K-Pop, which includes a nomination for “Boy With Luv” from BTS, featuring Halsey. The other category is video for good, which includes nominations for John Legend’s socially conscious “Preach” and Lil Dicky’s “Earth,” which donates proceeds from that song’s sales to environmental charities

The 2019 VMAs, hosted by comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, will air on August 26.
