NEW YORK — It’s Taylor Swift’s world, and the MTV Video Music Award nominations are the latest proof.

“The Tortured Poets Department” singer once again tops the VMA noms with 10—eight for her “Fortnight” music video and nods in the artist of the year and best pop categories. She’s followed by her “Fortnight” collaborator Post Malone, who is nominated along with Swift eight times and earned his ninth nom for his country hit “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.
