The 2024 MTV EMAs was certainly a night to remember in Manchester. Of course, Taylor Swift topped the winners list at, scoring trophies across “Best Video” with 'Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)', plus “Best Artist,” “Best Live,” and “Best US Act.” Closely following was MTV EMAs newcomer Tyla, who scooped her first ever MTV EMAs for “Best Afrobeats,” “Best R&B” and “Best African Act.”
Commanding a set inspired by Manchester’s music heritage - and its warehouse party legacy - third time host Rita Ora dazzled fans with several outfit changes and during the show invited global audiences into “Rita’s Bar,” set in a balcony overlooking thousands of fans. Within the show, there was a heartfelt moment in remembrance of Liam Payne, with personal words from Rita herself.
