For the first time in history, Manchester will host one of the music world's most acclaimed awards ceremonies on Sunday night, with notable names travelling across the globe to be in attendance.

Nominations for the awards ceremony were released early last month with Taylor Swift leading the charge with seven nominations, closely followed by Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and Charli XCX.
