The 2019 MTV EMAs Are Here!
The 2019 MTV EMAs have landed in Seville, Spain! All your fav global-dominating artists were on deck for Europe’s biggest music bash, where they were hoping to take home some shiny new hardware. Ariana Grande, the top contender this year, lead the pack of nominees with a total of 7 nods (to match her “7 rings,” obviously). She faced stiff competition in categories like Best Artist, where she was up against Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, and J Balvin. Meanwhile, EMA newbies like Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X were hoping to take home a trophy or two — so these categories were really anyone’s game.
The star-studded awards show, hosted by Becky G, featured live performances from Halsey, Niall Horan, Dua Lipa, Ava Max, Green Day, and more. Not to mention, Liam Gallagher, who picked up the first-ever Rock Icon Award and took the stage for his own must-watch performance!
