Accepting the first award from John Lennon’s son and singer Julian, who presented the prize, she said: ‘It’s so good to be back at the EMAs. You all look very beautiful tonight.’

The singer-songwriter continued: ‘I have been writing and directing my music video for a long time but this was the first short film I have made and I felt like I learned so much about myself of how making film can be a natural extension of my storytelling just like songwriting.’

Taylor also thanked actors Dylan O’Brien and Sadie Sink who starred in the music video and praised her fans for their continued support, adding: ‘You’re the reason that anything has every happened to me.’ 

Hitmakers: DJ David Guetta and singer Bebe Rexha came out on top in the Best Collaboration for their hit I'm Good (Blue)
