Watch Taylor Swift accept Best Artist, Best Live and Best Video at 2024 MTV EMAs

Taylor Swift has won big at the 2024 MTV EMAs, winning a total of four awards – the most wins of the night. See what she had to say in her acceptance speech below.

Last night (November 10), Swift won Best Artist, Best Live, Best Video and Best US Act at the MTV VMAs. While she wasn’t present at the Co-Op Live Arena, she sent in a video acceptance speech to thank her fans.

In the video – which has since been shared on social media – Swift said of her wins: “Hey guys, it’s Taylor. I’m coming to you from the Eras Tour and I’m so sad that I can’t be with you tonight. Thank you so much for these amazing awards. The fact that you’ve honoured the tour, everything that’s happened with the album this year, the video, it’s just unbelievable.”

She continued: “I have to thank you so much to Post Malone for being the most amazing co-star possible in the ‘Fortnight’ music video, Rodrigo Prieto my amazing DP. The fans for voting on this. You’re the reason any great thing happens to me and I know it every single day. I’m so thankful for it, this is just so exciting and so wonderful. I had to best time touring Europe this summer, so it’s just wonderful for you to do this. Thanks.”

The MTV EMAs were hosted by Rita Ora for a record-breaking third time, and featured live performances from Benson Boone, RAYE, Shawn Mendes, Teddy Swims, The Warning, LE SSERAFIM, Peso Pluma, Tyla, Busta Rhymes and Pet Shop Boys.

Elsewhere during the EMAs, Ora shared a touching tribute to her late friend and collaborator Liam Payne, who tragically died last month at the age of 31.

Ora said: “I just want to take a moment to remember someone that was very, very dear to us. We lost him recently and he was a big part of the MTV world and my world and I think a lot of yours at home and everybody in here tonight.

“Liam Payne was one of the kindest people that I knew. You know, there were so many ways that we were talking about honouring him, but I think sometimes just simply speaking is enough.”

Other major wins at the EMAs include Sabrina Carpenter clinching Best Song for ‘Espresso’, Ariana Grande for Best Pop, Liam Gallagher for Best Rock, Eminem for Best Hip-Hop and more. You can see the full list of winners at the 2024 MTV EMAs here.
