    This year’s EMAs show saw the awards return to live broadcasting following the virtual ceremony in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

    Saweetie served as host for this year’s ceremony, taking over from Little Mix who presented last year.

    Teasing what to expect from the star-studded show, the rapper said in a statement: ‘Anything can happen at the MTV EMAs. Are you ready?’ before she promised there would be ‘surprises’ in store.  

    Speaking about hosting, she told MTV: ‘I think MTV is fun. It’s innovative, it’s out the box. And that’s the type of artist I am. So when I got the call to do it, it was a no brainer.’
