Twenty One Pilots are also nominated for three awards during the night, including the prestigious Artist of the Year where they will be competing against Adele, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Drake, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood and The Weeknd. Those ten nominees will be reduced to five on Nov. 17.
Twenty One Pilots are a nominee for Favorite Pop/Rock Group, along with Favorite Alternative Rock Artist, as well.
