Nine new categories were also announced this year, including Top Hot 100 Songwriter and Top Hot 100 Producer -- with Swift, Bryan, and Jack Antonoff nominated for both -- as well as Top Rock Duo/Group, Top Global K-Pop Artist, Top K-Pop Tour, Top K-Pop Album, Top Global K-Pop Song, Top Afrobeats Artist, and Top Afrobeats Song.
