The nominations for the 2023 MTV EMAs have arrived, and the star-studded selection is sure to make it a can’t-miss event!
This year, Taylor Swift leads the pack with an impressive grand total of seven nominations, including Best Artist, Best Song and Best Video. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo and SZA are right behind with six noms each — also in the top three categories.
Meanwhile, earning multiple nominations are Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus and Måneskin. This year also showcases emerging talent with 26 first-time nominees making the cut.
The annual, global celebration of music will be held this year at the famed French exhibition hall Paris Nord Villepinte — marking the show’s first return to Paris since 1995.
