Lorde has been nominated in the International category, joining Prince, country icon Dolly Parton, pop hit-maker Pharrell Williams, jazz vocalist Gregory Porter and pop star Taylor Swift.
As with all other awards shows, the BBC Music Awards will feature a bevy of performances as well. Coldplay will be among the lineup of performers, which also includes Sheeran and pop group One Direction.
Additional nominees will be announced this week. The show will take place in London in front of an audience of more than 10,000 people, and the winners are determined by a BBC Music panel and leading music journalists.
