Katy Perry is no "Dark Horse!"

The 29-year-ol pop star earned seven MTV EMA nominations, more than any other artist or group. Ariana Grande trailed behind with six, while Pharrell Williams and 5 Seconds of Summer scored five nods. Iggy Azalea, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, One Direction and Sam Smith earned four nominations apiece.

Voting in all categories is open at mtvema.com until Nov. 8. The MTV EMAs will air live the following day at 7 p.m. ET from SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, following a pre-show special in Miami, Fla. The 2013 MTV EMA pre-show was broadcast from New York City and hosted by Glee's Darren Criss, Cher Lloyd and Andrew Schulz. It featured performances by Jason Derulo, Fall Out Boy and Austin Mahone.
