Who won Best New Artist at the 2024 VMAs?

The story behind the answer

Chappell Roan won Best New Artist at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. She received the fan-voted award for a breakout year that included the hit singles “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Red Wine Supernova.”

The 2024 ceremony took place on September 11 at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Roan’s nominees included Benson Boone, Gracie Abrams, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tyla. The category’s voting remained open later than most VMA categories, closing on the day before the ceremony.

The award was part of a rapid rise for Roan, whose theatrical performances, distinctive visual style and strong online following helped turn her from a developing singer into one of 2024’s most prominent new pop acts. A common mix-up is confusing this award with Push Performance of the Year, which recognized monthly performances and was a separate VMA category.
