The nominees for the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards were announced Tuesday morning, with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X leading the charge.
Both Swift and Grande received 10 nominations, including song and video of the year, while L.A.-bred singer Eilish has nine nominations and Lil Nas X racked up eight nods for his colossal summer hit "Old Town Road."
This year's show will feature two new categories: "Best K-Pop," which this year includes nominations for both mega groups BTS and BLACKPINK, and "Video for Good," which celebrates music videos that have a focus on social issues.
The show will air live on MTV Aug. 26 with host Sebastian Maniscalco.
