It breaks the record previously held by Lady Gaga’s halftime show, which received six nods in 2017. Coincidentally, Gaga made an appearance during Bad Bunny’s halftime set.
Gaga, meanwhile, scored a nod of her own in the outstanding original music and lyrics category for “The Dead Dance” from Netflix’s Wednesday.
Taylor Swift is also an Emmy nominee this year in the outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) category for Disney+’s Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show. The special scored five nods total.
