Taylor Swift triumphs at the MTV Europe Music Awards

Taylor Swift won four awards at the MTV Europe Music Awards which took place on November 13, 2022 in Düsseldorf at the PSD Bank Dome. The pop star won the most prestigious trophies, that of Best Artist, and those of Best Pop Artist, Best Clip and Best Long Format Video. The American stole the show from Harry Styles, who only won one award despite competing in seven categories.

During the show, Taylor Swift was particularly proud of her two distinctions achieved for her video for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).” She recalled that it was her first time writing and directing a short film. “I feel like I’ve learned a lot about how cinema can be a natural extension of my storytelling,” she said, before recalling that “the first version of this title, released about ten years ago, wasn’t a single. If it had happened, it’s because the fans wanted it.”

Fans who were also thanked when the 32-year-old singer came to collect the main prize. “I am amazed by what you did for“ Midnights ”(note: the last album of him, which caused Spotify to crash when it was released), the way you supported it, how you got emotional and loved this album. For me nothing is ever acquired. I love you so much, I can’t believe I can do this job. It’s thanks to you, thank you very much,” she said emotionally.

Among other highlights of the ceremony, the first to be held in Germany since 2012, broadcast live on MTV in more than 170 countries, Noa Kirel’s outfit caused a lot of talk. The pop artist, who won Best Israeli Artist for the fifth time and will represent her country at Eurovision in 2023, wore long pants and gloves decorated with rapper Kanye West’s face and gold chains with different Jewish symbols . “My clothing clearly shows that I am both Jewish and Israeli. We have recently seen a great deal of anti-Semitism, particularly in the light statements by Kanye West. I am proud to be an artist representing Israel to the world,” she explained.
