Justin Bieber și Megan Thee Stallion conduc în topul nominalizărilor din acest an.
VMA-urile MTV din acest an se vor întoarce în New York la Barclays Center din Brooklyn pe 12 septembrie. Ceremonia de anul trecut a fost inițial programată să aibă loc la Barclays Center, dar din cauza pandemiei, VMA-urile au fost organizate în diferite locuri în aer liber în cele cinci cartiere ale orașului.
Printre nominalizați se mai numără Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Drake, Giveon, Lil Nas X și Olivia Rodrigo.
