MTV VMAs postponed due to Trump vs Harris debate

The MTV VMAs have been delayed by a day due to a presidential election debate.

The ceremony was due to take place on September 10 in New York but will now take place on September 11 to avoid clashing with the televised debate, which will be the first time candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will face off against each other.

MTV declared in a press release: “Our fans are encouraged to tune in for the 9/10 debate ahead of music’s most iconic night.” The broadcaster has continuously encouraged viewers to go out and vote on election day.

It has also confirmed who will be performing on the night. Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla and Rauw Alejandro are all set to take to the stage.

Taylor Swift and Post Malone are leading the nominations for the MTV VMAs this year with 19 nominations between them.

Swift is out in front with 10, while Malone only has one fewer, with nine – and many of their nominations are for ‘Fortnight’, Swift’s song which features Malone. Among the other artists to have multiple nominations are Sabrina Carpenter, Eminem, and Ariana Grande, who all have six each.

Both Swift and Eminem are up for the most prestigious award of the night, Video of the Year. Four-time winner Swift is the current award holder, for ‘Anti-Hero’, while Eminem has received a record seven nominations for the award over the years. Also up for the award are Grande, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat and SZA.

Artist of the Year, meanwhile, is between Swift, Eminem, Grande, SZA, Carpenter and Bad Bunny, while Song of the Year is between Swift, Carpenter, Beyoncé, Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar and Teddy Swims.

Olivia Rodrigo and Lisa, of K-pop group BLACKPINK, received four nominations like Swims, while Boone, Dua Lipa, Anitta, Tyla, Bleachers and GloRilla are all on three. The likes of Cardi B & Shakira and Rauw Alejandro join Anitta and Bad Bunny in the Best Latin category, while Megan Thee Stallion and Travis Scott are among the Best Hip-Hop nominees.

Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Green Day and Lenny Kravitz are all nominated for Best Rock, while Hozier and Linkin Park are in Best Alternative.
