The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by Megan Thee Stallion, will take place tonight at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. Taylor Swift leads the nominations with twelve, including for Artist of the Year, followed closely by Post Malone with eleven and Eminem with eight. Swift has the potential to break records, as winning five or more would surpass Beyoncé's total of 29 wins, making her the most awarded artist in VMA history. Eminem, who will open the show, is set to perform alongside a star-studded lineup including Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, and Sabrina Carpenter. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the VMAs, celebrating its rich history since the inaugural event in 1984. Katy Perry will receive the Video Vanguard Award, further highlighting the significance of this milestone event.
