The MTV Europe Music Awards 2023 was due to take place in Paris, France on Sunday, November 5.
However, the annual awards ceremony was cancelled due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas crisis.
In a statement at the time of cancellation, Paramount said: “Given the volatility of world events, we have decided not to move forward with the 2023 MTV EMAs out of an abundance of caution for the thousands of employees, crew members, artists, fans, and partners who travel from all corners of the world to bring the show to life.”
“The MTV EMAs are an annual celebration of global music. As we watch the devastating events in Israel and Gaza continue to unfold, this does not feel like a moment for a global celebration,” the statement continued.
“With thousands of lives already lost, it is a moment of mourning. We look forward to hosting the MTV EMAs again in November of 2024.”
Although the MTV EMAs didn’t take place, the winners were announced, with Taylor Swift claiming three awards – Best Artist, Best Live and Best Video for Anti-Hero.
