Taylor Swift came out on top at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards, walking away with best artist, best US act, best live act and best video for “Fortnight (featuring Post Malone)”.

Swift, who is currently finishing up her Eras tour, thanked the fans for the prizes via video message.

The show in Manchester in the UK on November 10 opened with an acrobatic Benson Boone suspended in the air on a gold grand piano performing his viral hit “Beautiful Things” and latest release “Slow it Down”. Boone also accepted his first EMA for best new act.

South African newcomer Tyla gave Swift a run for her money, picking up three awards for best Afrobeats, best R&B and best African act.

Tyla performed her smash hit “Water” and her energetic new track “Push 2 Start” for the EMA audience at the Co-op Live arena, Manchester, flanked by a host of dancers.
