MTV VMA Nominations 2019 Full List: Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande & Billie Eilish lead the pack

Just give Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande all the MTV Video Music Awards this year. The two international singers have had a great musical year. From rolling out some jaw-dropping videos to making great collaborations, Taylor and Ariana made the biggest noise over the past year. Hence, there was no surprise that the two singers top the MTV VMA nominations list of 2019. Taylor and Ariana have ten nominations each this year. This includes Video of the Year and Song of the Year.

The ladies are followed by teenage rockstar Billie Eilish. The 17-year-old singer has been on top of the music charts with her recent song, Bad Guy. The quirky video has led to Billie bagging the Video of the Year apart from eight other nods. Her nine nominations include Artist of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop. She is followed by Lil Nas X, who has eight nominations. The Jonas Brothers reunion has resulted in Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas bagging four nominations. 

The biggest news comes for K-Pop fans as MTV introduced a new category for the genre titled Best K-Pop. The category opens with nominations for BTS and Halsey's Boy With Luv, BLACKPINK's Kill This Love, Monsta X and French Montana's Who Do You Love, TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Cat & Dog, NCT 127's Regular and EXO's Tempo.
