Shawn Mendes was the big winner at the MTV EMAs in London, scooping the Best Song and Best Artiste awards. Mendes had been expected to fare well, going into the EMAs with five nominations, and was a triple winner, taking the "biggest fans” accolade in addition to the above mentioned awards. Only Taylor Swift had more nominations, with six, but she didn’t pick up any awards on the night.
The EMAs were held at the SSE Arena, Wembley on Sunday (Nov 12), but also saw MTV stage events around the British capital. U2, recipients of the Global Icon award on the night, performed Get Out Of Your Own Way from Trafalgar Square. Eminem was on the mic in a London pub before taking to the EMA stage and performing his new single, Walk on Water. The rapper picked up the Best Hip-Hop gong.
