Billie Eilish landed six nods, and Charli XCX picked up five nominations. In a six-way tie with four nominations each are Bad Bunny, Doechii, Jelly Roll, Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae and Miley Cyrus. (Scroll down to see the full list of nominees.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCBS will be hoping that a lot of that starpower will be up for performing on the telecast, since the the <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/vmas\/\" id=\"auto-tag_vmas\" data-tag=\"vmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VMAs<\/a> are premiering on the network in prime time for the first time this year, after years of the show being aired simultaneously on all of Viacom\u2019s  cable outlets. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBesides CBS, the VMAs will still be simulcast live on MTV and can be streamed by Paramount+ subscribers in the U.S. (Paramount+ Essential subscribers won\u2019t be able to stream live but will have access to on-demand the day after the special.) The show will air live in all time zones on Sept. 7, starting at 8 p.m. ET\/5 PT. It\u2019s the second year in a row the telecast is being broadcast from New York\u2019s UBS Arena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGaga\u2019s nominations are split between \u201cDie WIth a Smile,\u201d her duet with Bruno Mars, which has noms spread across many of the top general categories, and her \u201cMayhem\u201d album\u2019s \u201cAbracadabra,\u201d which picked up noms in every single one of the technical categories. Gaga\u2019s big haul of nominations marks the third time she has been the leading contender for the VMAs, after she previously led the pack by picking up 13 in 2010 and nine in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAmong the new categories this year is best country \u2014 perhaps reflecting the fact that, now that the show is airing on CBS, it needs to spread its multi-genre net a bit wider, along with the border-crossing popularity of top country acts today. A best pop trophy has also been added to the mix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFan voting has been opened at vote.mtv.com in 19 gender-neutral categories. The voting window will stay open through Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. ET, with the exception of the best new artist category, which will remain active into the show itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAlthough neither Taylor Swift nor Beyonc\u00e9 had much action in the way of new music videos in the past year, those two perennial VMAs winners remain up for artist of the year, a category that is not tied to any specific video. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe announcement of the VMAs contenders notes that 33 nominees are included as first-timers, ranging  from newcomers like Alex Warren, Role Model and Sombr to a few veterans who got in through the addition of the new categories, like Blake Shelton and Lainey Wilson. Blackpink member Rose\u2019s eight nominations represent her first as a solo artist; likewise for Jennie, Jimin, Jisoo and Damiano David getting their first nods as solo artists outside their groups.  Other first-time VMAs nominees include Katseye, Mac Miller, Brent Faiyaz, Gigi Perez, the Mar\u00edas,  Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Bailey Zimmerman, Cody Johnson, Dasha, Ella Langley, Freddie Gibbs, Jordan Adetunji, Lay Bankz, Livingston, Mark Ambor, Megan Moroney, Moliy, Partynextdoor, Sasha Alex Sloan, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Zach Hood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGunpowder &amp; Sky CEO Van Toffler, a figure in MTV\u2019s history from way back, is producing the show. Bruce Gillmer, Barb Bialkowski and Den of Thieves cofounder Jesse Ignjatovic (Den of Thieves) are the show\u2019s executive producers, with Alicia Portugal as co-executive producer. Jackie Barba is executive In charge of production, Wendy Plaut is executive in charge of celebrity talent and Lisa Lauricella is executive In charge of music talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t2025 VMAs NOMINEES:<br \/>Nominees in each category are listed in alphabetical order by first name.<br \/>(**) = New Category<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tVIDEO OF THE YEAR<br \/>Ariana Grande \u2013 \u201cBrighter Days Agead\u201d \u2013 Republic Records<br \/>Billie Eilish \u2013 \u201cBirds of a Feather\u201d \u2013 Darkroom\/Interscope Records<br \/>Kendrick Lamar \u2013 \u201cNot Like Us\u201d \u2013 pgLang\/Interscope Records<br \/>Lady Gaga &amp; Bruno Mars \u2013 \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d \u2013 Interscope Records<br \/>ROS\u00c9 &amp; Bruno Mars \u2013 \u201cAPT.\u201d \u2013 Atlantic Records<br \/>Sabrina Carpenter \u2013 \u201cManchild\u201d \u2013 Island<br \/>The Weeknd, Playboi Carti \u2013 \u201cTimeless\u201d \u2013 XO\/Republic Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tARTIST OF THE YEAR<br \/>Bad Bunny \u2013 Rimas Entertainment<br \/>Beyonc\u00e9 \u2013 Parkwood Entertainment\/Columbia Records<br \/>Kendrick Lamar \u2013 pgLang\/Interscope Records<br \/>Lady Gaga \u2013 Interscope Records<br \/>Morgan Wallen \u2013 Big Loud Records\/Mercury Records<br \/>Taylor Swift \u2013 Republic Records<br \/>The Weeknd \u2013 XO\/Republic Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSONG OF THE YEAR<br \/>Alex Warren \u2013 \u201cOrdinary\u201d \u2013 Atlantic Records<br \/>Billie Eilish \u2013 \u201cBirds of a Feather\u201d \u2013 Darkroom\/Interscope Records<br \/>Doechii \u2013 \u201cAnxiety\u201d \u2013 Top Dawg Entertainment\/Capitol Records<br \/>Ed Sheeran \u2013 \u201cSapphire\u201d \u2013 Gingerbread Man Records\/Atlantic Records<br \/>Gracie Abrams \u2013 \u201cI Love You, I\u2019m Sorry\u201d \u2013 Interscope Records<br \/>Lady Gaga &amp; Bruno Mars \u2013 \u201cDie With A Smile\u201d \u2013 Interscope Records<br \/>Lorde \u2013 \u201cWhat Was That\u201d \u2013 Republic Records<br \/>ROS\u00c9 &amp; Bruno Mars \u2013 \u201cAPT.\u201d \u2013 Atlantic Records<br \/>Tate McRae \u2013 \u201cSports Car\u201d \u2013 RCA Records<br \/>The Weeknd, Playboi Carti \u2013 \u201cTimeless\u201d \u2013 XO\/Republic Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBEST NEW ARTIST<br \/>Alex Warren \u2013 Atlantic Records<br \/>Ella Langley \u2013 SAWGOD\/Columbia Records<br \/>Gigi Perez \u2013 Island<br \/>Lola Young \u2013 Island<br \/>Sombr \u2013 SMB Music\/Warner Records<br \/>The Mar\u00edas \u2013 Nice Life\/Atlantic Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBEST POP ARTIST **<br \/>Ariana Grande \u2013 Republic Records<br \/>Charli xcx \u2013 Atlantic Records<br \/>Justin Bieber \u2013 Def Jam Recordings<br \/>Lorde \u2013 Republic Records<br \/>Miley Cyrus \u2013 Columbia Records<br \/>Sabrina Carpenter \u2013 Island<br \/>Tate McRae \u2013 RCA Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMTV PUSH PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR<br \/>Aug 2024 \u2013 Shaboozey \u2013 \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d \u2013 American Dogwood\/EMPIRE<br \/>Sept 2024 \u2013 Ayra Starr \u2013 \u201cLast Heartbreak Song\u201d \u2013 Mavin Records\/Republic Records<br \/>Oct 2024 \u2013 Mark Ambor \u2013 \u201cBelong Together\u201d \u2013 Hundred Days Records\/Virgin Music<br \/>Nov 2024 \u2013 Lay Bankz \u2013 \u201cGraveyard\u201d \u2013 Artist Partner Group Inc.<br \/>Dec 2024 \u2013 Dasha \u2013 \u201cBye Bye Bye\u201d \u2013 Warner Records<br \/>Jan 2025 \u2013 Katseye \u2013 \u201cTouch\u201d \u2013 HYBE\/Geffen Records<br \/>Feb 2025 \u2013 Jordan Adetunji \u2013 \u201cKehlani\u201d \u2013 300 Entertainment<br \/>Mar 2025 \u2013 Leon Thomas \u2013 \u201cYes It Is\u201d \u2013 EZMNY Records\/Motown Records<br \/>Apr 2025 \u2013 Livingston \u2013 \u201cShadow\u201d \u2013 Republic Records<br \/>May 2025 \u2013 Damiano David \u2013 \u201cNext Summer\u201d \u2013 Sony Italy\/Arista Records<br \/>June 2025 \u2013 Gigi Perez \u2013 \u201cSailor Song\u201d \u2013 Island<br \/>July 2025 \u2013 Role Model \u2013 \u201cSally, When The Wine Runs Out\u201d \u2013 Interscope Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBEST COLLABORATION, presented by Under Armour<br \/>Bailey Zimmerman with Luke Combs \u2013 \u201cBackup Plan (Stagecoach Official Music Video)\u201d \u2013 Atlantic Records\/Warner Music Nashville<br \/>Kendrick Lamar &amp; SZA \u2013 \u201cLuther\u201d \u2013 pgLang\/Interscope Records<br \/>Lady Gaga &amp; Bruno Mars \u2013 \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d \u2013 Interscope Records<br \/>Post Malone ft.
