Taylor Swift tops the list of nominees for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, with a chance to win eight more "Moon Person" statues at this year's awards, MTV announced. If she sweeps all eight categories at the awards ceremony Sept. 12, she'd place second in all-time wins.

Beyoncé currently holds the record for the most MTV Video Music Awards ever, with 26 wins solo, including a Vanguard award, and 28 overall, including wins with Destiny's Child. Madonna has won 20, including a Vanguard. 

Swift, who is packing stadiums on her Eras Tour, has previously won 14, MTV said in a statement announcing the latest group of nominees. 

Swift's nominations include Song of the Year and Video of the Year for her hit song "Anti-Hero."  She is also nominated for Artist of the Year alongside Beyonce, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, KAROL G, and Shakira.

SZA follows closely with six nominations for her song "Kill Bill," including Song of the Year and Video of the Year.

This year also saw the greatest number of first-time nominees for awards, MTV said, with nods going to 35 rookies including GloRilla, Yung Miami, and Saucy Santana.
