At MTV EMAs, Taylor Swift outperforms Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter with four awards

Music – The younger generation will have to wait a little. On the stage of the MTV European Music Awards in Manchester, it was pop star Taylor Swift who largely stood out this Sunday, November 10 during this famous world music awards ceremony.

Despite her absence, Taylor Swift triumphed by winning four awards in the main categories. Thus becoming best artist of the year and gleaning the titles of best tour of the year, best album of the year and best video of the year for the music video for Fortnight.

In a pre-recorded message, the interpreter of Shake it off therefore logically expressed his “sadness” for not being able to be present. “The fact that you won awards for the tour, the album and the video is just incredible”she said, greeting her compatriot Post Malone, with whom she shares the prize for best video.

At the top of the nominations before Sunday evening, Taylor Swift could hope to leave with seven trophies in total. But she ultimately bowed in one of the queen categories: pop artist of the year. An award finally given to Ariana Grande.

An evening which still ends a breathtaking 2024 for the American megastar, who had already won his fourth Grammy Awards in February for album of the year. A year also marked by his immense tour Erasthe most lucrative in the history of music.

Pierre Garnier does better than Charli XCX

During this night of music, which gave pride of place to female artists, the American Benson Boone, who opened the evening, became the winner of the title of revelation of the year. Before a powerful tribute was paid to Liam Payne, singer and former member of One Direction who died suddenly at the end of October, at the age of 31.

On the British stage of the MTV Emas, a ceremony headed this year by singer Rita Ora, the American phenomenon Sabrina Carpenter left with only one prize: that of song of the year for her summer hit Espresso.

Unlike Charli XCX and Chappell Roan who ended the Manchester evening empty-handed. A young generation which ultimately did not shine as much as hoped, even if the surprise came from a young artist: Lisa. Thai K-pop artist whose scale is difficult to estimate from France, Lisa won in the best collaboration categories for her title New Woman with the Spanish singer Rosalia and largest fan community.

In the France category, Aya Nakamura finally lost to a rising star past the Star AcademyPierre Garnier. Tayc and Dadju, Slimane and Vitaa as well as Gims also competed for the title of French artist of the year.
