Another award show and another night of Taylor Swift winning big. The country pop star dominated the evening, taking home trophies in multiple categories, including Most Meme-Able Moment, Best Female Artist and Album of the Year. The only time it seemed when she wasn’t on stage was when Justin Bieber was.
Biebs nabbed two wins, for Best Male Artist and his Jack Ü-powered “Where Are U Now” scored the Dance Song of the Year honors. The Canadian crooner also opened the show with an acoustic rendition of “Love Yourself” and “Company.” Later, his Beliebers helped the singer take home Best Fan Army.
There were a number of high-powered performances, from Nick Jonas and his DNCE crew to Zayn’s first TV performance as a solo star. Hands down, however, the best of the lot was Chris Brown, the R&B Male Artists of the Year winner, whose four-song medley set a bar that wasn’t topped.
Other notable winners during the broadcast were Fetty Wap for Best New Artist, Adele’s “Hello” as Song of the Year and Drake’s “Hotline Bling” earning Hip-Hop Song of the Year.
