Taylor Swift Leads 2017 MTV EMA Nominations
By Kara Johnson
It’s been an amazing year in music, especially in the Taylor Swift camp. She’s made it back just in time for the EMA Awards and yes, she’s leading the pack with 6 nominations.
The queen of pop could very well make history on November 12th. The most awards won in one night is currently for by both Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. Could Swift change that? We don’t doubt it for a second. The songstress is up for several nominations, including Best New Artist and Best Video for her latest hit “Look What You Made Me Do”. Who’s her biggest competition? Shawn Mendes. He too is also leading the pack with 5 nominations.
Other artists who are nominated include Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus. It’s a stiff competition this year but we have no doubts that our girl will come out on top.
How are the winners determined? By the fans, of course. So, make sure you take time out of your day to vote for your favorite pop queen. She deserves these awards more than anyone and we know she’ll win at least a few. She is Taylor Swift after all.
Voting starts tomorrow (October 5) over at mtvema.com.
We’ll find out who comes out on top on Sunday, November 12 when the award show is broadcasted live around the globe from the SSE Arena, Wembley in London.
