Taylor Swift emerged as the standout winner at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) held in Manchester, triumphing in multiple categories. The US pop icon secured awards for best artist, best US act, best live act, and best video for her hit collaboration "Fortnight" with Post Malone. Despite her absence due to the ongoing Eras tour, Swift expressed her gratitude to fans via a heartfelt video message, acknowledging the honors.
The event kicked off with a performance by Benson Boone, who captivated the audience while performing suspended above the stage on a golden grand piano. Boone's act featured his popular single "Beautiful Things" alongside his newest release "Slow it Down." This memorable appearance was topped off by him winning his inaugural EMA for best new act.
Meanwhile, South African artist Tyla also made a strong impression, securing three awards in recognition of her contributions to afrobeats, R&B, and as the best African act.
