2024 VMAs: Everything to know from who’s hosting to how to vote

The MTV Video Music Awards are back and celebrating their 40th anniversary this year.

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion is set to host the awards from the UBS Arena on New York’s Long Island.

It marks the “WAP” star’s first time hosting an award show, though she has guest-hosted Saturday Night Live and served as a co-host on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the past.

The 2024 award show promises star-studded performances, tons of moon people, and even more Taylor Swift.

Here's everything you need to know about the MTV VMAs.

The VMAs will air live on September 11 at 8pm ET from the UBS Arena on New York’s Long Island.

The ceremony was originally scheduled to take place on September 10 but was rescheduled to avoid conflicts with the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Swift tops the VMA nominations with 10 – eight for her “Fortnight” music video and nods in the Artist of the Year and Best Pop categories. She’s followed by her “Fortnight” collaborator Post Malone, who has nine. He is nominated along with Swift eight times and earned his ninth nom for his country hit “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.

Rounding out the Artist of the Year category nominees are Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter and SZA.

Grande, Carpenter and Eminem are tied with six nods; Megan Thee Stallion and SZA have five each. Blackpink’s LISA, Olivia Rodrigo and Teddy Swims follow with four nominations each.

This year features 29 first-time nominees, which include Wallen, Carpenter and Swims as well as Benson Boone and Tyla – the latter two boast three nominations each.

Katy Perry will receive the Video Vanguard Award. She will also perform.

Previous recipients include Shakira, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj,
