Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, And More: The 2019 EMA Nominations Are Here

Get voting now

Just a month out from co-leading the pack of nominees at this year's VMAs, Ariana Grande also leads this year's crop of noms for the 2019 MTV EMA, racking up a total of seven nods — including Best Video, Best Artist, and Best Song. But she's got stiff competition: Not far behind are Lil Nas X, Shawn Mendes, Billie Eilish, who each nabbed six noms. It's been a big year, y'all. And the rest of the nominations speak to it.

J Balvin, another supersonic 2019er, is nominated in five categories, while likewise buzzing beacons Taylor Swift and Lizzo each grabbed four. But this year has also seen an entirely new crop of pop stars take the mantle; if the six luminaries in the field for Best New — Ava Max, Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Mabel — are any indication, 2020 could look even wilder.

Don't miss all the action when the 2019 EMA hits Seville, Spain on November 3. The fun begins airing live on MTV at 9 p.m. CET. Check out the full list of nominees below and get voting now at mtvema.com!
