Taylor Swift, Tyla, and Sabrina Carpenter have emerged as the top winners at the "2024 MTV Europe Music Awards". The evening also featured a heartfelt video tribute to former One Direction member Liam Payne.

Although Taylor Swift did not attend the event, she took home the most awards of the night, winning Best Artiste, Best Live, Best US Act, and Best Video for her hit song "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone. 

In her video acceptance speech, Taylor expressed deep gratitude to Post Malone, calling him "the most amazing co-star possible."

Tyla followed closely with three significant awards: Best Afrobeats, Best R&B, and Best African Act. The South African singer, who was recently honored with a Global Impact Award at Billboard's R&B No1s event in New York, wowed the audience with an electrifying performance. She delivered a high-energy medley of "Push 2 Start" and "Water," joined by a dynamic troupe of dancers, leaving the crowd exhilarated.

Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, who were both absent from the event, won Best Song for "Espresso" and Best Pop, respectively. Despite multiple nominations, Billie Eilish and Charli XCX left empty-handed, unable to secure wins in any of the five categories in which they were nominated.
