Megan Thee Stallion will make “Hot Girl History” as host of the 2024 VMAs live on Wednesday, September 11th at 8 pm ET/PT from New York’s UBS Arena.

The two-time VMAs winner is up for five nominations this year, including Best Collaboration with tourmate GloRilla and Best Hip Hop, the same category she last won in 2020 for her chart-topper “Savage.” Her first MTV Moon Person was in 2019 for Best Power Anthem, scoring a win as a first-time nominee for her smash “Hot Girl Summer.”
Taylor Swift leads with ten nominations, followed by Post Malone with nine, Ariana Grande, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter six each, Megan Thee Stallion and Sza five each, and Lisa, Olivia Rodrigo, and Teddy Swims with four apiece.
Fans can vote for their favorites across 15 gender-neutral categories, including the highly-coveted Video of the Year, Presented by Burger King, by visiting vote.mtv.com through Friday, August 30th thanks to The General Insurance. Voting for Best New Artist, Presented by DraftKings will remain active into the show. Social categories are to be announced soon.
Performers include Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Rauw Alejandro, Sabrina Carpenter, Benson Boone, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, and Blackpink’s Lisa.
Katy Perry is this year’s Vanguard Award and will perform a career-spanning medley of her biggest chart-toppers.
