今年MTV音樂錄影帶大獎首度將KPOP納入評比，包括防彈少年團（BTS）與海爾希（Halsey）合作的歌曲《Boy With Luv》，以及BLACKPINK的《Kill This Love》，以及EXO的《Tempo》等歌曲都順利入圍。而防彈少年團除了「最佳KPOP歌曲」外，同時也入圍「最佳合作」、「最佳藝術指導」和「最佳舞蹈」共四獎，再次證明「世界彈」的威力。
同樣首次設立的還有「最具意義音樂錄影帶」，包括泰勒絲爲聲援LGBTQ族羣所拍攝的MV《You Need to Calm Down》，以及海爾希的《Nightmare》等共6首歌曲入圍。
泰勒絲睽違2年的新專輯《Lover》來勢洶洶，除了「最具意義音樂錄影帶」外，同時也入圍「年度音樂錄影帶」、「年度歌曲」兩項大獎，以及「最佳合作」、「最佳視覺效果」和「最佳攝影」等，共計10項入圍與亞莉安娜並列大贏家。

亞莉安娜則以《thank u, next》入圍「年度音樂錄影帶」和「年度歌曲」、「最佳後製」和「最佳藝術指導」、「最佳嘻哈歌曲」以及「年度藝人」。今年以《7 rings》拿下告示牌7周冠軍，也足見2019年是亞莉安娜突飛猛進的一年。
此外，橫掃全球音樂圈和時尚界的怪奇比莉（Bllie Elish）初生之犢不畏虎，奪下包括「年度音樂錄影帶」、「最佳視覺效果」和「最佳攝影」等9項入圍，並將與亞莉安娜、強納斯兄弟（Jonas Brothers）等人爭奪「年度藝人」，堪稱年度新人王。
