MTV VMAs Rescheduled to September 11

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) have been rescheduled to September 11 to avoid a conflict with a U.S. presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, initially set for September 10. This adjustment aims to prevent a dip in viewership and aligns with MTV's longstanding commitment to civic engagement. The event will be hosted at the UBS Arena in New York's Long Island and will feature performances by artists like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, and Rauw Alejandro. Taylor Swift leads the nominations with 10 nods, followed closely by Post Malone with nine. MTV will also honor the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 by supporting related non-profits such as 9/11 Day and Tuesday’s Children. Fan voting for 15 gender-neutral categories is ongoing and ends on August 30, with best new artist voting to remain active throughout the show.
