Pop singer Justin Bieber dominated the MTV EMAs with five European music
awards Sunday night, including for best male performer, best fans, best
collaboration and best look.
Taylor Swift, who led all artists with nine nominations, took just one prize, best song, for "Bad Blood," featuring Kendrick Lamar. Rihanna won best female performer while Nicki Minaj took best hip hop.
One Direction won for best pop group, preventing Bieber from sweeping all the awards for which he was nominated. None of those acts were on hand to accept, and only Minaj sent along a video "thank you."
