The American singer Taylor Swift was the great winner of the MTV Europe Music Awards, winning four awards this Sunday in the English city of Manchester.
The 34-year-old pop megastar, who was not present, won in major categories, including singer of the year and best live artist.
In addition, he won the awards for best video for his clip “Fortnight”, alongside Post Malone, and for most outstanding American artist.
In a pre-recorded message, the “Shake it off” singer expressed her “sadness” at not being able to attend the ceremony.
“The fact that I won the tour, the album and the video (for the Fortnight clip) is just incredible,” said the singer, greeting her compatriot Post Malone in the recording.
The American, who was the artist who participated in the awards with the most nominations, seven in total, lost to her compatriot Ariana Grande in the category of pop artist of the year.
These awards won by Taylor Swift add to others won throughout 2024, including a fourth Grammy in February for album of the year, a record in the history of this award.
Nor should we forget his gigantic “Eras” tour, the most lucrative in the history of music.
A record year for the singer, who was declared person of the year by Time magazine.
The ceremony began with a performance by the American Benson Boone, winner of the revelation of the year title.
The master of ceremonies, the singer Rita Ora, paid an emotional tribute to Liam Payne, the member of the British band One Direction, who died at the end of October at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires.
South African singer Tyla won three awards, including best R&B artist.
The other surprise was Lisa, a Thai K-pop artist (South Korean oppo), who won two awards, including best collaboration, for her title “New Woman” with Spanish singer Rosalía.
The trophy for song of the year went to American Sabrina Carpenter for her hit “Espresso.”
Eminem, who returned in 2024 with a new album, won the trophy for best hip-hop artist for the tenth time.
In the ‘rock’ category, Liam Gallagher, legendary voice of the group Oasis, won.
Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher announced at the end of August that they were getting back together for a tour, 15 years after their devastating separation.
For his part, the Mexican Featherweight won the award for best Latin artist.
“I am happy to receive this award, which is not for me, it is for my entire team,” declared the Mexican artist after receiving the award from the British actress Jodie Turner-Smith.
Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, born in Zapopan (Jalisco) 25 years ago, and better known as Peso Pluma, specializes in the genres of corridos tumbados, reggaeton and Latin trap.
Featherweight won in a category in which it had category rivals such as Anitta, Bud Bunny, Karol G, Rauw Alejandro and Shakira.
The Mexican was also up for the best collaboration award for the song “Bellakeo”, with Anitta, but the award went to Lisa and Rosalía for “New Woman”.
With that song, Lisa and Rosalía were also up for the best video award, a reward that Taylor Swift and Post Malone won.
In the electronic music category, Calvin Harris won.
This edition, which was intended to be international, with the presence of different nationalities among the nominees, ended up being dominated by Anglo-Saxon artists.
