Thanks to their hit “Bellakeo,” Anitta and Peso Pluma are the few Latine artists to appear in the major categories. Both artists are nominated in the Best Collaboration category against hits by Charli xcx and Billie Eilish, Lisa and Rosalía, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, and Taylor Swift and Post Malone.

Pop star Danna, corridos tumbados pioneer Natanael Cano, and Gabito Ballesteros are up against the first reggaeton mexa stars in the category. El Malilla and Yeri Mua are now first-time MTV EMA nominees.
The Best Caribbean Act category is filled with artists from Puerto Rico. Young Miko, Myke Towers, Yovngchimi, Luar La L, and Eladio Carrión are nominated. Moreover, Colombia has taken over the Best Latin America Central Act category. The nominees there include Manuel Turizo, Sofia Castro, Blessd, Beéle, and Kapo. And it’s full Argentinean representation in the Best Latin America South Act category, with Emilia, Maria Becerra, Trueno, Luck Ra, and Dillom vying for an MTV Europe Music Award. The Best Brazilian Act category includes Pabllo Vittar, Luísa Sonza, Matuê, Jão, and Pedro Sampaio. Taylor Swift is the most-nominated artist this year with seven nominations.
The 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards will be held on Nov. 10 at Co-op Live in Manchester. Last year’s telecast was canceled due to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
