The highly anticipated list of nominees for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) is almost here. This year, the Artist of the Year category is unique as it comprises all women, a first since its introduction in 2017. Two Latinas, Shakira and Karol G, have made it to the list of six women, joining other powerhouse names such as Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift.
Shakira and Karol G have been nominated twice each for the prestigious awards – Artist of the Year and Best Latin song. These nominations are for their outstanding collaboration on the track “TQG”.
