Former Music Week cover star Tyla won her first ever MTV EMAs for Best Afrobeats, Best R&B and Best African Act.

Best UK & Ireland Act winner Raye played at the ceremony with a 30-strong choir and a 13-piece live band. It followed her multiple Grammy nominations days earlier.
Best Song went to Sabrina Carpenter for her hit Espresso, while other winners included Ariana Grande (Best Pop), Liam Gallagher (Best Rock), Calvin Harris (Best Electronic), Imagine Dragons (Best Alternative), Eminem (Best Hip-Hop), Jimin (Best K-Pop) plus Lisa and Rosalía (Best Collaboration).
