MTV Europe Music Awards 2023 nominations: Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Dojo Cat star - full list

MTV Europe Music Awards has released its nominations for 2023 as Taylor Swift leads the way in seven categories including Best Artist, Best Video, and Best Live act. Other artists such as Miley Cyrus, Dojo Cat, and Olivia Rodrigo were also recognised for their contributions to music this past year.

The annual music event - which is set to take place at France’s Paris Nord Villepinte - held its first event in 1994 to promote European local artists. However, in 2011 MTV rebranded the award show, shortening its name to ‘MTV EMA’, and allowing for the recognition of worldwide artists.

But who has been nominated for this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards? Here’s everything you need to know.
