Taylor Swift cleaned up at Rita Ora and Taika Waititi’s Who-ward Show Extravaganza, a.k.a. the MTV European Music Awards. Swift took home Best Artist, as well as Best Video, Best Pop, and Best Longform Video for “All Too Well (10-Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).” First the Tribeca Film Festival, and now this! The Sadie Sink/Dylan O’Brien-starring short film took home a fat chunk of hardware, but other artists also went home with awards. Sam Smith and Kim Petras won something called “Video for Good,” and co-host Rita Ora won Best Look “Personal Style.” Presumably Taika Waititi won an un-televised award for “Second Most Important Director in Attendance, After Taylor Swift.” The complete list of winners is below.
