Another special artiste is Missy Elliott, a Vanguard Award recipient, who is also set to perform during the event and will mark her appearance for the first time on the VMA stage since 2006. The nominations for the award show came out in July with Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande leading with 10 each, while ‘Bad Boy’ singer Billie Eilish earned a total of nine and Lil Nas X followed closely behind with eight.  Korean boy band BTS, which has led a K-pop music wave in the United States and scored three No.1 albums on the Billboard chart in the past year, got just four nods, including three in the newly created K-pop category.
