Presenters
For the first time in the show's history, celebrities took a backseat to presenting awards. More than a dozen music fans who participated in a viral TikTok challenge were randomly selected to present awards and performances at the ceremony. The only exception was the Video of the Year category, which was presented by Natalie Chandler, whose "Blue Parachute" video won the coveted award at the 2010 ceremony.
Winners and nominees
Nominations were announced on August 6, 2021. Winners were announced during live broadcast on September 5, 2021.
