Country rapper Lil Nas X and singer Billie Eilish had some big years in music and will more than likely walk away with some accolades to show for it at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.
MTV unveiled the nominees on Tuesday, and Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish appear to have snagged the most noms with H.E.R and Cardi B not trailing too far behind.
The 2019 MTV VMAs take place on August 26 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
