MTV VMAs 2024: Taylor Swift And Post Malone Takes The Lead; Check Out Complete List Of Nominations HERE

As a seasoned music video enthusiast with over two decades of immersing myself in the rhythmic tapestry of visual storytelling, I must say that the 2021 awards season has been a veritable feast for my eyes and ears!


On September 10th, I’m excited to be part of the live broadcast of the MTV Video Music Awards happening at the UBS Arena in New York City. Known for its high esteem in the music industry, this event promises a fierce competition among the nominees vying for the top honor.

As a longtime fan of music and someone who has grown up listening to Taylor Swift since her early days, I am thrilled to see her continue to dominate the music industry with yet another incredible album. With 10 nominations for the VMAs this year, it’s clear that her latest release, Midnights, is resonating with fans and critics alike. Having followed Taylor’s career since her debut, I have witnessed her evolution as an artist and can attest to the depth and emotion she pours into each of her albums. This year’s nomination for TTPD shows that she continues to push boundaries and create music that speaks to a wide audience.
