Katy
Perry has a fight on her hands at the upcoming MTV Europe Music Awards after
scoring seven nominations - just one more than pop rival Ariana Grande.
The
Firework superstar is leading the pack at the annual prize giving after receiving
nods for Best Song for Dark Horse, Best Pop, Best Female, Best Live, Best
Video, also for Dark Horse, Best Look and Best US Act.
Meanwhile,
Ariana is also up for prizes including Best Song [Problem], Best Female, Best
Pop and Best New.
The
divas will go up for the coveted Best Female gong with Nicki Minaj, Taylor
Swift and Beyoncé.
The
boys haven't been left out this year, as music maker-of-the-moment Pharrell
Williams is up for five awards, with his omnipresent Happy track receiving a
nod for Best Song.
Aussie pop rockers
Five Seconds of Summer's takeover of the European charts has also been recognized
- the band is also nominated in five categories.
One
Direction, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Eminem, Sam Smith and Kiesza have all
received four nods.
It's
the first year Ariana has been up for a prize at the iconic event, but acted as
backstage host last year in Amsterdam - when she became firm pals with Katy,
who was named Best Female at the ceremony, her fourth MTV EMA trophy, last
year's show was dominated by Miley Cyrus, who has only managed to pull in one
nod at the 2014 show.
The
Wrecking Ball hitmaker famously raised eyebrows in the star-studded audience as
she lit up a suspicious looking cigarette onstage while collecting a trophy.
The
night also included a controversial performance from Bruno Mars, who rocked out
on his guitar alongside scantily-clad pole dancers.
The
ceremony will be held in Glasgow on Sunday, November 9.
