MTV EMAs has moved to the city of love, Paris, France. This will be the second time the organizers will look at France as the perfect destination for the ceremony. The MTV Awards was first held in Paris, France, in 1995. For years, MTV has celebrated artists and created a platform for them to be recognized on the grand stage. Entertainment entertainers have been rewarded for their talents through various initiatives like the MTV Movie and TV Awards, MTV VMAs, and MTV EMAs.

MTV EMAs Will Be Held in Paris, France
Like former events, MTV has promised that this year’s Europe awards will celebrate worldwide singers on a global scale. During the ceremony, there will be an incredible display of talents on stage by “the industry’s biggest artists.”
Bruce Gillmer, music president and chief content officer at Paramount+, has expressed the board’s decision to make Paris the host city, as reported by Variety. He explained that the city is a repository of rich cultural dynamics that cuts across music, art, and fashion. He echoed that MTV EMAs in Paris will carry on with the annual legacy of showcasing iconic performances. This year, they hope to achieve a “supercharged ” music experience for viewers.
Last week, Gilmer made a statement on behalf of MTV. This was regarding the just-concluded award ceremony held on Sunday in the US. The MTV Movie and TV Awards was created to celebrate US stars, but for the first time, it was pre-taped. Rather than the regular live audience and live host, the organizers took a different approach.
The Writers Guild of America influenced this. They initiated a strike following their discontentment with Hollywood. This boomeranged into a total shutdown of shows and films across the country. Some celebrities who planned on attending the MTV Movie and TV Awards pulled out to show loyalty to the association. Drew Barrymore, who was scheduled to host the show, also backed down. She lent her voice to the WGA movement but assured fans she would host the event next year.
What Last Year’s Version Looked Like?
Before moving the MTV EMAs to Paris, France, the event was hosted in PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany. Taylor Swift made her fans proud by taking home the highest wins. The pop star bagged awards for Best Artist, Best Video, Best Pop, and Best Long-Form Video.
Harry Styles, who recently whisked off a handful of Grammys, displacing Beyonce, won in the best live category. Rapper Nicki Minaj left the venue with an award for Best Hip-Hop and Best Song. Others on the list were Seventeen and David Guetta.
There is no doubt that the MTV EMAs Awards will be held in Paris. According to MTV, the show will broadcast live on the network on November 5. Over 150 countries will watch their favorite artists perform. For now, the venue and full global programming are under wraps until further notice.
