Thee Nominations For The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards Have Been Unleashed With Leading Nods For Megan Thee Stallion , Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Billie Eilish & So Much Mas!
"The nominations for the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards have been revealed, with Justin Bieber leading with seven nominations, followed by Megan Thee Stallion with six nods.Both acts are up for artist of the year, with many of Stallion’s nominations coming for her Cardi B collaboration “WAP.” Cardi B earned four nominations, all for “WAP.”Several artists scored five nods apiece, including Billie Eilish, BTS, Doja Cat, Drake, Giveon, Lil Nas X and first-time contender Olivia Rodrigo.Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift are among the artists with four nods each, with Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and Foo Fighters each scoring three nominations.Fans can vote for the winners across 14 gender-neutral categories from now through Friday, Sept. 3. Voting for best new artist will remain active into the awards show on Sunday, Sept. 12, with nominations for social categories including “Best Group” and “Song of the Summer” announced at a later date.The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards are set to air live from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, which served as the site of the VMAs in 2013, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The arena was originally set to be the site of the 2020 edition of the music awards show. But adjustments due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced the team behind the production to pivot to a show that took place in various locations across New York City.While a specific vaccination requirement wasn’t listed in today’s announcement, MTV said it would be working with the Barclays Center and local officials to implement best practices to safely allow fans to attend the show, with additional protocols announced closer to the event.Still, with the timing of the show, it’s likely it will fall under New York City mayor Bill de Blasio’s vaccine requirement for indoor entertainment, though that won’t be enforced until Monday, Sept. 13.Currently, it seems that the Barclays Center is requiring fans over the age of four to either be fully vaccinated or present a negative COVID-19 test result, and patrons are required to wear a mask at all times unless eating or drinking, regardless of vaccination status.A complete list of the 2021 MTV VMA nominations follows.VIDEO OF THE YEARCardi B ft.
