One of the biggest awards at the show is Artist of the Year, which replaced the categories Best Male Video and Best Female Video in 2017.
Some of the biggest names in music have been presented with the sought-after statue in the past, including Ed Sheeran (2017), Ariana Grande (2019), Lady Gaga (2020), and Taylor Swift (2023).

Who are the Nominees for Artist of the Year?
The MTV Video Music Awards recently announced the following six acts have earned a nomination for Artist of the Year:
- Sabrina Carpenter
- Eminem
- Bad Bunny
- SZA
- Taylor Swift
- Ariana Grande
Who is Likely to Win Artist of the Year?
The above nominees are each worthy of the Artist of the Year Award, as each has enjoyed much success in the charts in 2024.
Of course, some acts are more likely to walk away with the Moon Man than others. For instance, there is no denying that 2024 has been a phenomenal year for Taylor Swift.
In addition to earning ten nominations at the VMAs, the “Shake It Off” singer has been delighting fans worldwide on her Eras Tour, which has surpassed $1 billion in revenue and has become the highest-grossing tour in history.
Also, her songs have experienced more than 85 billion streams, and her album The Tortured Poets Department has topped the Billboard Hot 200 chart for 15 weeks and counting.
If she wins, it will be the first time a singer has received two consecutive Artist of the Year Awards.
However, she faces tough competition from Ariana Grande, who has the most Artist of the Year nominations to date at four.
Her number one album Eternal Sunshine has produced many hit songs, including “Yes, And?”, a remix version with pop icon Mariah Carey, and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” with each reaching the top spot on the Billboard Global 200 and Hot 100.
However, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Sabrina Carpenter lifted the Moon Man at the ceremony this year.
The talented singer has enjoyed much success in the charts in 2024 with “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” from her upcoming album Short ‘n’ Sweet.
The two singles have helped Carpenter make history in the UK, as she became the first female artist in music history to hold the number one and two spots in the UK singles charts for three consecutive weeks.
