2024 MTV EMAs Winners: Tyla and Taylor Swift Dominate

Taylor Swift emerged as the night’s biggest winner, snagging Best Artist, Best US Act, Best Live Act, and Best Video for her hit Fortnight featuring Post Malone. Unable to attend due to her Eras tour, Swift thanked fans via a video message, shouting out Post Malone, director Rodrigo Prieto, and her loyal supporters.

The show kicked off with Benson Boone’s jaw-dropping aerial performance of Beautiful Things and Slow it Down, earning him the Best New Act award. South African sensation Tyla made waves, clinching Best Afrobeats, Best R&B, and Best African Act. She brought the house down with high-energy renditions of Water and her new banger Push 2 Start.

Sabrina Carpenter took home Best Song for Espresso, while Ariana Grande was crowned Best Pop Act. Eminem secured Best Hip Hop Act, edging out Kendrick Lamar. In a surprise twist, Imagine Dragons nabbed Best Alternative Act, beating out heavyweights like Hozier and Lana Del Rey.

Host Rita Ora paid tribute to Liam Payne during the show. Hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes received the Global Icon Award from Little Simz, and the Pet Shop Boys were honored with the inaugural Pop Pioneers Award for their massive impact on pop music.
