At EMAs, Justin Bieber Picks Up Three Trophies & PSY Wins Best Video
"This is my
very first EMA, I'm so excited. This is unreal," Swift said after
her first win, for best female act. "This is my first time touring
in Europe. Thank you for giving us another reason to come back."
Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber dominated the 2012 MTV European
Music Awards, winning three trophies each, with Swift ruling over
her first-ever appearance at the EMAs, taking the honors for best
female, best live act and best look.
"This is my
very first EMA, I'm so excited. This is unreal," Swift said after
her first win, for best female act. "This is my first time touring
in Europe. Thank you for giving us another reason to come back."
Supermodel and "Project Runway" host Heidi Klum took on hosting
duties for the 2012 EMAs, switching in and out of various
tight-fitting Versace outfits as she maneuvered around the Frankfurt
Festhalle, done up to resemble a huge circus tent complete with
trapeze artists, contortionists and flame eaters.
While
Taylor and Bieber dominated the evening, the EMAs were a global
affair. Trinidadian-born American rapper Nicki Minaj took the best
hip hop honor, Chinese Mandopop singer Han Gengwon best worldwide
act and French house DJ David Guetta won best electronic act.
Guetta's beats also featured on Rest of My Life, the first single
off Ludacris' new album Ludaversal, which premiered during the red
carpet lead-up to the EMAs.
But while the night
may have belonged to youth, the most moving moment at the 2012 EMAs
came in tribute to late singer Whitney Houston, who was named this
year's global icon for her "significant impact on the world of pop
music." Alicia Keys presented the honor, calling the late pop diva
"my homegirl (and) my friend."
Other
presenters and special guests at the 2012 EMAs included Kim
Kardashian, Ludacris and the Jonas Brothers. The show featured live
performances by acts such as Muse, No Doubt and The Killers.
