The MTV EMAs are over for another year and, wow, what a special night it was for music.
Taking place in Seville, Spain, it was a real celebration for the biggest names in music. From the moment that Dua Lipa opened the stage and Halsey collected the first award of the night, it was clear that the women who dominated pop in 2019 were getting their dues.
Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift dominated with two wins each, taking home the biggest awards of the evening (Best Song and Best Video). Elsewhere, Halsey, Ava Max, Rosalía, Nicki Minaj and FKA Twigs all won, while the one and only Shawn Mendes won the prestigious honor of Best Artist.
In a surprise to Arianators, despite being the most nominated artist of the evening, Ariana Grande did not win any of the awards. It may come as a surprise but when she was in such a great company, you simply never know what will happen on the night!
K-pop kings BTS also won two awards, including Biggest Fans for their die-hard BTS Army, while Little Mix was honored with Best UK & Ireland Act.
It wasn’t only a celebration for pop music though, as Green Day celebrated a huge win in addition to their show-stopping performance.
It was also a huge night for the legendary Liam Gallagher as he was honored with the first-ever Rock Icon Award.
To find out which awards your faves won, take a look at the full winners’ list below…
