Following the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, earlier this year, the 34-year-old is up for seven categories, including best video, best artist, best US act, and best collaboration.
In 2023, the singer, who Forbes currently lists as the richest female musician in the world, was nominated for an equal number of accolades.
But because of the “volatility of world events” after the Israel-Hamas war broke out, the ceremony was called off.
It follows Swift’s dominance at the 2024 Video Music Awards (VMAs), where she won seven awards, matching Beyonce as the most-awarded musician in VMA history and bringing her career total to thirty.
For best artist, Swift is competing against British vocalist Raye as well as American performers Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Billie Eilish.
Coldplay, Charli XCX, and Central Cee are among the British celebrities nominated for accolades.
According to TV, 19 nominees are in the running for their first-ever EMA this year.
These include the five-piece indie outfit The Last Dinner Party for best new act, post-punk band Fontaines DC for best alternative, and British and Irish groups like Disclosure and Fred Again for best electronic.
