Taylor Swift swept the awards for best artist, best live act, best American act, and her "Fortnight" collaboration with Post Malone was named best video.

Ariana Grande received the award for best pop and Liam Gallagher won the rock award.

The best hip-hop award went to Eminem and was presented by book-author Neneh Cherry and her daughter, artist Mabel.
