VMAs: Chappell Roan, Troye Sivan, and Victoria Monét among LGBTQ+ nominees

LGBTQ+ artists are being celebrated and we love to see it. A whole array of dazzling queer talent has been nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) this year including Chappell Roan, Troye Sivan, and more.

Taylor Swift has a total of 10 nominations, making her the most nominated in the 2024 bunch. And as well as LGBTQ+ talent, a host of allies like Dua Lipa and Charli XCX have been recognised for videos such as ‘Houdini’ and ‘Von dutch’ respectively.

In the latest moment in her meteoric rise, Chappell Roan has scored two nominations including Best New Artist. She has also been nominated for the PUSH Performance of the Year for ‘Red Wine Supernova’. Elsewhere, Billie Eilish has picked up two nominations while SZA and Megan Thee Stallion have five apiece.
