Post Malone is the most-nominated artist for 2019 with seven total nominations. Grande and Billie Eilish both follow with six each, and Lil Nas X and Swift each scored five nominations. Billy Ray Cyrus, Khalid and Ella Mai all earned four nominations this year.
Swift will also be honored as the artist of the decade. The singer currently holds the record for the most wins by a female performer in history, with 23 wins to her credit. That's one trophy behind Michael Jackson, who won 24 over the course of his career. Swift could break that record this year; she's nominated in five categories for the 2019 awards show.
