During this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards that aired live on Sunday (11.13,) Taylor Swift was the top trophy winner taking home awards for Best Artist, Best Pop, and both Best Video and Best Long Form Video for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).”
During her acceptance speech for Best Artist, the multi-Grammy Award winner stated “I wanted to say to the fans, I had an album come out recently called Midnights, and I’m so blown away, you have no idea how much it means to me to even get to do this as a career.” “So I just wanted to say personally from me to you, the fact that you have done what you’ve done, supporting that album, being excited about that album, and loving it and there’s not a single moment I take that for granted. I love you so much, I can’t believe I get to do this as a job. It’s all because of you. Thank you so, so much.”
Other notable winners included Nicki Minaj (for Best Hip Hop and Best Song for “Super Freaky Girl,”) Harry Styles (for Best Live Performance,) and K-Pop artists Lisa (for Best K-Pop), Seventeen (for Best New and Best Push), BTS (for Biggest Fans), and Blackpink (for Best Metaverse Performance).
