The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards have been rescheduled due to the upcoming US presidential debate. Originally slated for September 10, the event will now air live on September 11 at 8pm ET. It's being broadcast from the UBS Arena on New York's Long Island.

ABC News confirmed last week that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will participate in a debate on the awards' initial date. Meanwhile, MTV has announced this year's nominees, led by Taylor Swift, who is up for 10 awards, most notably for her "Fortnight" music video. Post Malone closely follows with nine nominations, including one for his collaboration with Morgan Wallen on "I Had Some Help."

The artist of the year contenders feature Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter, and SZA. Fan voting across 15 gender-neutral categories is currently ongoing and will conclude on August 30, with the best new artist category remaining open throughout the show. Performers this year include Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Rauw Alejandro, and Camila Cabello. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
