Eminem opened the 2017 MTV EMAs by taking the mic in a London pub before joining the stage at The SSE Arena, Wembley, for an orchestra-backed performance of his recently-released "Walk On Water." Guest artist and frequent collaborator Skylar Grey stepped in for Beyoncé on vocals.
Em later won the award for Best Hip Hop.
Best Pop winner Camila Cabello’s performance also created waves, bringing to life her short film video for "Havana" with a choreographed routine that moved through three scenes with soaring overhead shots.
Shawn Mendes was crowned Best Artist and rocked his Best Song-winning track, “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” and worldwide DJ icon David Guetta closed the show with his new single, “Dirty, Sexy, Money” featuring French Montana and Charli XCX.
Other performers included U2, Demi Lovato, Stormzy, Clean Bandit, Kesha, The Killers, Travis Scott, Liam Payne, and host Rita Ora.
