It's the first time she's hosting a gala, although she has made guest appearances on "Saturday Night Live" and "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" before.

This year, the gala is being broadcast from New York and it's not entirely unexpected that Taylor Swift tops the VMA nominations with ten for her "Fortnight". She is also nominated in the categories Artist of the Year and Best Pop.

She is closely followed by her "Fortnight" colleague Post Malone with nine nominations. He is nominated together with Swift eight times and gets the ninth for his country hit "I had some help".

Nominated in the category Artist of the Year are Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter, and SZA.

Katy Perry returns to the VMA stage for the first time since 2017, when she hosted the award ceremony. She will both perform and receive the honorary Video Vanguard Award.

Among previous recipients are names like Shakira, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Missy Elliott.
