The Billboard Music Awards are closer than fans think!
On Monday, Nov. 25, the Billboard Music Awards announced their full list of nominees, with Zach Bryan, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Sabrina Carpenter leading the pack this year.
Bryan, 28, has 18 nods this year, and Swift, 34, the most decorated female BBMAs winner of all time, follows with 16 nominations. Wallen, 31, has been nominated for 15 categories, and first-time nominee Carpenter, 25, is making a splash with her nine nods this year.
Other first-time nominees include Teddy Swims with 8, Tyla with 8, Benson Boone with 6, Shaboozey with 6 and Chappell Roan with 2.
As far as how to watch, things will be a little bit different than years past. That music awards show, presented by Marriott Bonvoy, will be airing across FOX, Paramount+ and Amazon’s Fire TV Channels, making it easier for music aficionados to tune in.
“We are thrilled to bring the 2024 Billboard Music Awards to multiple platforms, ensuring fans have more options to watch the very artists they helped propel to the top of the charts,” Jay Penske, CEO, Dick Clark Productions, said in a statement shared with PEOPLE.
“By partnering with FOX, Paramount+ and Fire TV Channels, we are able to reach music enthusiasts where they are, whether they’re tuning in on TV, streaming on-demand, or watching from their mobile devices.”
This year’s BBMAs will be hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, who called music “just one of those magical devices that can bring people together no matter what walk of life they’re from.”
“And that’s what makes the Billboard Music Awards so special,” she continued in a press release shared with PEOPLE. “These amazing, chart-topping artists deserve to be celebrated and that’s exactly what we’re going to do! With me hosting, you can expect a fun party, a cute celebration and a whole moment in a plus-size sequin suit!”
