MTV EMAs 2015 Nominations: Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber Lead European Show

The 2015 MTV VMAs may already be one for the books, but the MTV Europe Music Awards are still around the corner. On Tuesday (Sept. 15), the international leg of MTV announced its full nominees for this year's EMAs, and despite a European flavor to the nods, American pop superstar Taylor Swift and Canadian Justin Bieber lead the nominees.

Continuing the path of her massive 2015, which included a Video of the Year award at the VMAs, Swift leads the nominees with the most-ever at nine, Billboard reports, including Best Song, Best Video and Best Collaboration for her Kendrick Lamar featuring 1989 single "Bad Blood." Lamar himself is up for six awards, mostly for "Bad Blood" though he also is in the ring for Best Video ("Alright"), Best Hip-Hop and Best US Act.

Fellow non-European Bieber also got six nominations, including Best Look, Best Collaboration ("Where Are U Now" with Jack U) and Best Male.

Other multiple nominees include Ellie Goulding, 5 Seconds of Summer, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes and more.

The 2015 MTV EMAs will air on Sunday, Oct. 25, from Milan, Italy. Voting for every category is open on the EMAs website.
