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.
