The MTV EMAs 2022.

Live from Dusseldorf, Germany.

Please welcome EMA hosts Rita Ora and Taika Waititi.

(cheering, applause)

Whoa! Hello!

Willkommen in Dusseldorf!

- Wow, look at you! - Wow. You are looking good!

Oh! And can I say, we are looking good, if I do say myself.

What do you guys think, we look all right or what?

- (crowd cheering, Rita laughs) - Right?

Now listen, I'm here representing Hollywood and the film world.

And I heard that you music people, you know how to party

and get crazy, so I've come to get some notes.

I know Rita's got a lot of costumes planned for the night,

so I'm gonna try and keep up with her.

I know you music people have an attention span of three minutes,

so I've gotta keep changing it up. I'm channelling my inner pop star.

Do it, you are so good. You're doing all right so far.

- Thank you. - (laughs)

Hey, so you guys, I am so excited to be here.

I was afraid I'd be wearing the same thing as David Guetta,

but I think we're in the clear, right?

Taika and I are so excited to be here for the EMAs.

It's incredible that we're doing this together.

- Thank you for doing this, Taika. - Thank you for bringing me!

- And also... - (cheering)

I want to thank you all for having

a big director slash movie star slash Grammy winner.

I didn't know I won a Grammy, I forget about that.

But we're all here to have a good time,

and I'm a huge music fan.

And I plan to soak in everything

and learn how to rock it out and party like the best of you.

The best thing about these awards is we have fun, we do whatever.

- It's a music show! - Do what you want!

(cheering)

Hosting in London a few years ago

was literally a dream come true for me.

I was in my hometown.

I think we might top it tonight. What do you say?

I agree, yep. I think so. I mean, check out this line-up!

Tonight we got dance, we got hip-hop, we got Gayle.

That's right, all three of those genres!

And awards. Let's not forget awards.

I'm so honoured to be in company of some of the greatest stars tonight.

Make some noise for the beautiful Taylor Swift in the building.

(cheering, applause)

We've got an incredible hip-hop artist.

Make some noise for Stormzy here tonight!

(cheering)

We've got so many hand-outs, and it's time to get right to them.

- Let's do these awards. - Are you ready, Dusseldorf?

(cheering)

That's good, cos I'm also ready to get down off this thing,

- cos I'm afraid of heights. - I know.

To present our first award of the night, guys,

please make some noise and welcome the legendary Julian Lennon!

(cheering, applause)

The EMAs have always been a celebration

of the most innovative work in music videos.

And now the influence of streaming

has given artists the room to push that even further.

They've created work more cinematic, more immersive,

and yes, longer than ever before.

Here are the nominees.

Wembley Stadium, London.

(crowd chant) Taylor! Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!

And the winner is, joyfully, hold on.

Taylor Swift!

(cheering, applause)

(cheering, applause)

It's so good to be back at the EMAs.

You all look very beautiful tonight.

I have been writing and directing my music videos for a long time,

but this was the first short film that I made.

And I felt like I learned so much about how making film

could be a natural extension of my storytelling,

just like songwriting.

And so, I have to thank the people who made this possible.

- Sadie Sink... - (cheering)

- ...and Dylan O'Brien... - (cheering)

...who believed in me and trusted me with their talent.

They were incredible collaborators and now friends. Erm...

And I'm so grateful to the fans for making this happen at all.

(cheering)

You're the only reason anything has ever happened for me,

so thank you so much.

And thank you, MTV. I appreciate this so much.

(cheering, applause)

- (man) That was brilliant. - Amazing. So cool, man.

People jumping around everywhere.

All the performers are crazy. I felt like I was in a riot. Great fun.

Great.

It was amazing!

It's done! Happy!

(electronic music plays)

All right. All right. Welcome back.

Welcome to our own little EMAs Star Bar.

This is my favorite part of the show. We get some drinks.

It's actually really nice. Thank you so much.

OK. Taika and I set this up for all of our guests to have fun tonight.

I don't wanna see any celeb nonsense.

I want you guys to get hammered. I need some drinks flowing.

Yeah, we're getting messy in here.

I've been thinking about other ways to spice things up.

There's a lot riding on these awards.

But we're gonna make it even more interesting slash lucrative.

We're taking bets on who will win our very last award of the night.

Best video. OK, I've got 100 euros, obviously, on Taylor Swift.

- I've got to say, I've got to say. - Euros.

I mean, it's a ten-minute video. It's practically a movie.

You're betting euros, finally a currency that's worth something.

Don't be shy. We'll be taking bets all night. David, what do you got?

Right now, we've got a performance. First, David Guetta's in the bar.

He's got big money. All the big money.

We've got a performance from an artist

who is always pushing the limits, from her style to her sound.

Give the money, please. You guys start organising the bets.

There is nothing like her.

Please, ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Ava Max.

(cheering)

Models detected. Models detected.

To present the award for Best Rock,

give it up for Leomie Anderson and Germany's own Leonie Hanne.

(cheering)

Good evening, Germany.

Guten Abend, Deutschland!

(cheering)

Ich heisse Leomie Anderson und ich liebe dich, Dusseldorf!

(cheering)

There are so many music legends in the house tonight.

We have already seen Julian Lennon. He just released his seventh album.

It's amazing.

(cheering)

Right now, we've got to celebrate some rock star nominees

who also deserve our recognition.

They all play amazing live shows

in front of thousands of screaming, passionate fans.

And as two of their biggest fans,

we are so excited to present this award.

So here are the nominees.

(cheering)

And the winner is...

Oh...

(both) Muse!

(cheering)

Congratulations! Congratulations, guys!

- Thank you. Thanks. - Hey!

(cheering)

Germany. Love Germany right now.

Thank you so much. This is lovely.

We'd love to dedicate this award,

and in fact, our whole album, to the people of Ukraine. And also...

(cheering)

And also to the women in Iran,

who, right now, all of them are fighting.

Fighting for their freedom as we celebrate tonight.

We'd love to say thank you so much to our European fans.

You are the best fans in the world. We love you so much.

You've been with us for over 20 years now

and we love playing for you,

so we look forward to see you next year on tour.

Thank you so much.

(cheering)

Wow, make some noise for Muse, ladies and gentlemen.

- (cheering) - Yes.

One of my favorite things about the EMAs

is that we always find a way

to capture the local flavor of the host city, Taika.

Now, right now, we're heading to a venue

that was originally built to be a planetarium,

but is now home to the Dusseldorf Symphony Orchestra.

- Did you just Google that? - One hundred percent.

Wow. This performance is unlike anything

that has ever been performed in a symphony hall.

This band has been playing in Metaverses

since before that was even a thing.

From the Tonhalle of Dusseldorf...

Please make some noise for Gorillaz featuring Thundercat!

Stop, collaborate, and listen.

It's time for Best Collab.

Please welcome from Canada, Lauren Spencer-Smith.

And from space, Sam Ryder.

Hey, what's up, EMAs?

(cheering)

These artists are all incredible in their own right.

But there's something special

about two creative forces coming together.

They can push each other...

Oh, I can't read.

They can push each other into exciting new directions

and create something unique but also beautifully their own.

Let's take a look at the nominations.

And the winner is...

- (both) David Guetta and Bebe Rexha. - (cheering)

Oh, my gosh!

(Sam) Thank you. Congratulations.

Thank you so... Oh, is this working?

Oh, wow. OK. Mine is not working. Thank you so much.

That's why we're doing a collaboration.

So, thank you to all the fans that voted for us.

Thank you for the support from MTV.

And really, this is incredible.

We met eight years ago

when we did Hey, Mama together with Nicki Minaj.

(cheering)

And since, everything we do is bringing us luck.

So thank you, Bebe, so much.

Thanks to the fans. We love you so much.

It's all because of you. Thank you!

Thank you!

Other EMA winners tonight.

Friends, fans, His Royal Highness, the king.

Greetings, all.

Murdoc Niccals here. Oh, sorry, it's probably a bit loud.

Murdoc Niccals here from Gorillaz.

It's my great pleasure to accept this award

for Stoke-on-Trent Rear of the Year

for a record 11th time.

I must say... eh?

Huh? MTV?

Oh. Soz. Wrong speech. That one's for tomorrow.

Er, yes. MTV Europe's Best Alternative.

Now, this award actually means something

cos it's voted for by you, the fans.

Thanks and blessings to all of you who've supported Gorillaz

by listening to our records, coming to our shows,

following our channels,

and putting up with our in-fighting.

We literally couldn't have won this award without you.

Well, except maybe by using

some kind of sophisticated vote-hacking,

which we definitely didn't do.

Cheers.

- What's going on? It's Stormzy. - And Debbie.

And we just performed at the MTV EMAs.

- Everybody. - Hey, we're in Dusseldorf,

here at the MTV EMAs.

We are super stoked.

We are hopped up on energy drinks, and we are ready to perform.

Let's go. We're One Republic.

(man) Late '70s, early '80s, Kraftwerk was a big inspiration

for a lot of hip-hop artists back then.

When hip-hop really started from the ground floor.

So, you know, they're definitely one of my inspirations.

Has anyone seen this man?

He looks like a silver fox, he wears suits, he's pretty fancy.

No? Oh, Hi! EMAs, we're back!

I was meant to be doing this next part with Taika.

He must still be getting ready. I mean, who knows at this point?

Taika, where are you? Can you please tell me where you are?

Hey! I'm backstage. I gotta tell you, I'm exhausted.

- What are you doing? - It's exhausting being a pop star.

I've on to my sixth costume change, I need a break.

Well, I mean, at least let me know.

You've just left me out here, but at least I've got Taylor

- so it makes me happy. - Yeah! Taylor!

I can see you on this big TV.

I might just stay here. Sorry.

- You've been replaced. - I'll probably stay here.

I thought I'd left behind the glamorous rock star lifestyle.

Look at this beautiful platter of more cold vegetables.

Yeah, they treat us good. Did you taste the canapes yet?

- I think this is it. - Oh.

Yeah, I mean, this is the big time. I'm living it up back here.

I don't know what they do in Hollywood,

but we get a pretty good thing.

It's just boring caviar and lobster.

So, I'm gonna do the rest of the show from here, maybe.

All right. I like that outfit.

Now, these guys coming up are true rock stars

and tonight they're channelling the biggest movie of the year,

going full Top Gun: Maverick on our EMA stage.

Get ready for OneRepublic. But first, first,

a special message from Tom Cruise.

Hi, everyone. I hope you're having a great time at the show.

Now, we talked to Ryan and OneRepublic

about the beach scene in Top Gun: Maverick.

We wanted something within the world of Top Gun that was modern

but also had a classic vibe to it.

This was on a Wednesday evening, and on Thursday, the very next day,

they delivered the song, and it's THE song,

and I've very grateful to you, Ryan, and to OneRepublic.

I wish I was there with you to hear this next song,

but have fun and enjoy your evening.

It's so great to be here tonight.

Germany has a special place in my heart.

(cheering)

This award,

this award celebrates the artists at the top of their game.

These are the stadium fillers, the prolific songwriters,

the Internet breakers, the record breakers.

Make some noise!

- (cheering) - All of them. Look!

They totally have shown you love.

The best nominees for Best Artist are...

(cheering)

And the winner...

...of the Best Artist of the Year is...

Taylor Swift!

(cheering)

- Wow! - (cheering)

First of all, I wanna say I have so much respect and admiration

for my fellow nominees.

Just wow.

- And I wanted to say to the fans... - (cheering)

I had an album come out recently called Midnights.

(cheering)

And I'm so blown away.

You have no idea how much it means to me

- to even get to do this as a career. - (cheering)

So I just wanted to say personally, from me to you,

the fact that you have done what you've done,

supporting that album, being excited about that album,

- and loving it... - (cheering)

There's not a single moment I take that for granted.

I love you so much. I can't believe I get to do this as a job.

It's all because of you. Thank you so, so much.

(cheering)

Other EMA winners tonight.

Hi, this is Lisa.

I am so honoured to have won the EMA for Best K-pop this year.

Your support for LaLisa and our new album means so much to me.

Enjoy the rest of the night

and hope to see you at one of our shows on the Born Pink Tour.

Bye.

Hello, MTV EMAs. Thank you so much for the support.

This means the world to me.

Making this video was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

And I wanna give a massive shout out to Floria, (LA)HORDE,

and of course, the sensational Kim Petras.

I'm so sorry I can't be with you tonight,

but I hope you have a beautiful evening. OK. Have fun. See you soon.

The game is...

So, the game is to literally just throw the ball

into this stein thing, right?

Bebe Rexha, please just try your hardest to get it in.

I know you can do it. You're my Albanian sister.

Come on, baby, we can go. Oh! So close. OK, let me try.

Just FYI, I feel like this is, like, so not our vibe.

We usually just, like, drink it.

We don't have to fight for our drinks. This is actually sabotage.

Hold on. Oh. I know we're hosting a show. I'm supposed to keep hosting,

but realistically, we're kind of competitive.

Can we just make some noise for the incredible Bebe Rexha

and congratulate her on her award tonight.

(cheering)

Love you!

Taika's living it up backstage.

No-one knows what he's doing, but I don't mind,

because I've got you, baby, my Albanian sister.

Can you believe that we're like Team Albania playing stein pong right now?

And you do not want to lose, not to us anyway,

because that means we might have to down this whole thing.

You think we can down this thing, Be? I think so.

OK, this next performer is one of the biggest...

You can try while I'm doing this. See if you can hit me in the face.

(laughs) But don't hit... No!

This next performer is one of the biggest breakout stars of the year,

here with her hit, ABCDEFU,

this is Gayle!

(cheering, applause)

I got kicked out of that room by someone

and now I'm just hanging out here with this stuff. What's going on?

Oh. Well, we've been told we're handing out an award,

but they're not telling us who it's for. How do you feel?

- I don't like surprises, but... - OK. Come on.

Let's see. Oh! I'm excited!

Oh, no! This is the best surprise ever!

(gasps) Funny running into you!

- Taylor Swift! - How are you?

Gosh, I've got the flats on on the wrong day.

- Good to see you. - Yeah!

(gasps) We have something for you. Look.

You know what, it's even better than a normal...

- (laughs) - Bigger and heavier.

It has ice cubes. Thank you.

And it came directly from you two, which means more than you know.

- Oh, yes. Sorry. - That one's opened. Don't ask me.

- There's also... - Yes.

You know what, yes. What is champagne without...

And you know, there's some pillows.

- I also love a throw pillow. - Thank you.

- Your dress is so good. - Aw!

Your speech earlier was so, so amazing.

It's so happy... Everyone's so happy that you're here.

How do you feel about your new award?

- What is it? - An award!

- Oh. - Another one.

(all laugh)

We just thought we'd like to say that...

They just said you were saying hi.

But I'm so happy to know that this is actually mine.

They said you guys wanted me back here so I came back here.

I'm happy you're in this dressing room. Please stay. Can you stay?

If this is indeed another award that is for me

and we didn't just make a mistake because we're having a good time,

I would like to say thank you...

- Oh, Best Pop. - It's for Best Pop.

OK, so I will say, I do some genre shifting throughout my career

and so I know how hard it is to be in pop music.

You gotta wear a lot of sequins

and learn choreography, and that is very hard.

And I appreciate any, like, you know, award for that.

And also, I wanna say thank you to my team, 13 Management.

And just the fans, I mean, my God. You're the reason I am employed.

Well, thanks for letting us crash,

and giving you a half-opened bottle of champagne.

- I'm gonna keep it. - (laughs)

- And a bucket. - And a bucket.

- Don't forget the bucket. - Thank you so much.

All right, Taylor, we're gonna leave you now, but thank you.

- We love you. - You're doing a great job.

- You think? - Yeah, you're thriving.

Whoo! We're thriving! You heard it here first.

- You're eating it alive. - (laughter)

We love you, Taylor. Thank you so much.

All right, all right, all right. We... Listen.

- Listen, we had to come out... - (cheering)

Yes, we had to come into the crowd.

- This is where the magic happens. - All right.

This is where it's at. We had to come out in the house.

You guys have got so much energy out here, OK?

All right. Hey, listen, are you guys excited for our next performance?

(cheering)

It's funny, I didn't even tell you who it is yet.

These guys are so amped up, they'd scream at just about anything.

OK, well, let's test them. What do you think of my outfit right now?

(cheering)

In the words of Taylor, we're serving. We're serving.

OK, hold on. What about Taika's hosting skills?

(cheering)

- I think he's doing a great job. - I'll take it.

This next singer is one of the most charming, funny

and just overall talented singer-songwriters in the world.

- I love him so much. - I know everyone here is ready.

- So let's all bring him out. - OK, wait, before we do that,

I wanna have someone from the crowd do that. You wanna do it? Come on.

So read that teleprompter for me, OK?

- Yeah. Give it up for Lewis Capaldi! - Yeah!

(cheering)

It's YOLO, you know?

Some OG in the building. You already know the vibe.

Nasty C, all the way from South Africa.

Look, it's about to be lit tonight.

Your night to win the EMA, dude.

To present the final award of the night,

please welcome, from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,

Maxim Baldry and powerhouse TV host Maya Jama.

(cheering, applause)

Dusseldorf. Hi, hello.

I'm so excited to be here, celebrating all this great music.

- Ja! - But now,

it's time for the biggest award of the night.

- Best Video. - Best Video.

All right, music videos gave birth to MTV,

and with artists right now hitting billions of views online,

it's no wonder this is the moment that everyone has been waiting for.

Let's take a look at the nominees.

And the winner is...

(both) Taylor Swift.

(cheering, applause)

You know...

(giggles)

You know, sometimes, I think about...

Sometimes I think about all the ways in which this short film

and this moment almost never happened.

There are so many ways in which this almost never happened.

This... the older version of this song came out, like, ten years ago,

it was never a single.

It...

It was never supposed to even have a music video,

nonetheless a short film.

I can only explain this

by saying that the fans willed this to happen.

Just...

I will never stop thanking you for it.

Also this never would have happened without Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien.

I will say it forever.

Thank you to the crew who helped work on it

and anyone who, erm, who thought that this song had a life

past when it came out ten years ago.

I love you all so much. I'm so grateful for you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you, MTV. Thank you, fans.

I cannot wait to see you on tour. I love you all so much.

(cheering, applause)

Wow. All right, make some noise for Taylor Swift, ladies and gentlemen.

Best Video. Well, you know what that means.

I think I won the bet, realistically, you know?

We are getting close to wrapping this up.

We are, we are, and I think that I can say

that we've both done a wonderful job.

- Thanks. - Verified Twitter might disagree,

but let's see what they have to say in the morning.

It's time for the moment we've been waiting for.

We're gonna settle up our bets.

They've announced the winner of the Best Music Video,

so it's time for us to collect.

I told you I wouldn't be wrong. Pay up, people. Here we go.

I want all of the money you got going.

I see you got... Yes, yes, yes.

I didn't come for awards. I came for these sweet euros.

I don't see any money coming... OK, give me your clothes.

I want the scarf, give me your jacket.

No, stop. No, stop, stop.

This is music people. They have to return these clothes tomorrow.

- What? Oh. - All right.

So, there's another moment you've all been waiting for.

Yeah, I want your hat. Thank you very much.

- You can do this next part. - Put the hat in the bucket.

I'll take this.

Another moment you've been waiting for,

the last performance of the night.
