The 34-year-old American artist, who was not present for the ceremony in Manchester this Sunday, November 10, won in the main categories including artist of the year and best live artist.
American pop megastar Taylor Swift triumphed this Sunday, November 10 at the MTV European Music Awards where she won four awards, during a ceremony celebrating the big names in world music in Manchester, United Kingdom.
The 34-year-old artist, who was not present, won in the main categories including artist of the year, best live artist and best video for her clip Fortnight with artist Post Malone. She was also awarded in the Best American Artist category.
In a pre-recorded message, the interpreter of Shake it off made it out of his “sadness” at not having been able to be present. “The fact that you won the tour, the album and the video (of the clip Fortnight) it's just incredible,” she said, saluting her compatriot Post Malone. Leading the nominations (seven in total), however, she lost to Ariana Grande in the pop artist of the year category.
Tenth prize for Eminem
These awards are in addition to those won throughout 2024, including a fourth Grammy in February, for album of the year, a record in the history of this award.
Not to mention his gigantic “Eras” tour, the most lucrative in music history. A record year for the thirty-year-old who was crowned Person of the Year by Time magazine.
South African singer Tyla won three awards, including best R&B artist. The other surprise comes in four letters: Lisa. A Thai K-pop artist, a true global musical phenomenon.
She won in two general categories including best collaboration, for her title New Woman with the Spanish singer Rosalia, and largest fan base, ahead of Taylor Swift and her army of “Swifties”.
The song of the year trophy went to American Sabrina Carpenter for her summer hit Espresso. Eminem, back in 2024 with a new album, won the trophy for best hip-hop artist for the tenth time.
Coronation of Pierre Garnier
In the Rock category, Liam Gallagher, legendary voice of the group Oasis, won. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher announced at the end of August that they were reforming their legendary group for a tour, 15 years after their shattering separation.
This edition, which was intended to be international with the presence of Lisa or the Nigerian Ayra in general categories, remained dominated by Anglo-Saxon artists.
Latino artists, purveyors of global hits, have not established themselves in any general category. In the Latin music category, Mexican artist Peso Plua won against Shakira and Karol G.
The French Snake and David Guetta, both nominated in the electronic music category, also left empty-handed, the trophy having been awarded to Calvin Harris. In the France category, the interpreter of DjadjaAya Nakamura, one of the most listened to French-speaking artists in the world, lost to Pierre Garnier, revealed in the Star Academy.
