Taylor Swift sweeps MTV EMAs

In a star-studded night at the 2024 MTV EMA Awards, Taylor Swift emerged as the top winner, taking home the trophies for Best Video, Best Artist, Best Live and Best US Act, per hollywoodreporter.com. Meanwhile, rising star Tyla also made a splash, securing her first-ever MTV EMA wins for Best Afrobeats, Best R&B and Best African Act.

The ceremony, hosted by Rita Ora in Manchester, England, took a poignant turn when Ora paid tribute to the late Liam Payne, the former One Direction member who tragically passed away last month. Ora, who had collaborated with Payne on the 2018 single “For You,” spoke emotionally about his kind spirit and the lasting impact he had made on the music industry.

“He had the biggest heart and was always the first person to offer help in any way that he could. He brought so much joy to every room he walked into, and he left such a mark on this world,” Ora said, fighting back tears. A montage of Payne’s photos was then shown as the audience observed a moment of silence.

Other big winners of the night included Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Calvin Harris, Imagine Dragons, Eminem, and Liam Gallagher. The ceremony also featured electrifying performances from the likes of Mendes, Tyla, Benson Boone, Le Sserafim, and Peso Pluma, among others.

The 2024 MTV EMAs not only celebrated the best in global music but also paid tribute to the enduring legacy of artists like Payne, reminding the audience of the profound impact that music can have on our lives.
