The 2021 MTV EMAs were being held to support the LGBTQ+ community, and organizers defended the decision to host them in Budapest despite recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation being passed in Hungary.
The biggest winners of the night were BTS, with the K-pop group winning the Best Pop, Best Group, Best K-Pop and Biggest Fans awards.
Sheeran, meanwhile, won both Best Artist and Best Song (“Bad Habits”), with Best Rock going to Eurovision winners Måneskin and Best Alternative going to Yungblud.
In his speech, Yungblud said: “If you are out there and you feel you cannot be who you are – you can be. Keep fighting, keep being brilliant.”
Other winners on the night included Lil Nas X (Best Video for “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”), Doja Cat and SZA (Best Collaboration for “Kiss Me More”), the night’s host, Saweetie (Best New), Taylor Swift (Best US Act) and Billie Eilish (Video For Good for “Your Power”).
