The nominees for the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards have been revealed, with Justin Bieber leading the way on seven nominations.
This year’s awards are set to take place on September 12 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Alongside Bieber in the list of nominations is Megan Thee Stallion with six nods, while others also nominated for awards include Billie Eilish, Drake, BTS, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X and more.
Last year’s awards ceremony took place primarily in New York, but in a variety of outdoor locations and without an audience due to the coronavirus pandemic. A host of remote live performances were also pre-recorded for the occasion.
A live audience is set to be in attendance this year, while the awards show will feature “performances from some of music’s biggest stars and celebrate the return of live entertainment”.
