The old Palma Arena was packed with young people and quite a few had a parent with them who seemed to enjoy dancing and singing along to the music as much as their kids.
The event was presented by Tony Aguilar, Dani Moreno and Cristina Boscá who urged the audience to make noise and enjoy the music after months of silence due to the Covid pandemic.
Hombres G kicked off the event with their song ‘Voy a pasármelo bien’ or ‘I'm going to have a good time’.
Best National Artist Live went to Aitana; actor and singer, Sebastián Yatra scooped Best Video Clip Latino and Best Latino Artist.
It was a great night for Ed Sheeran who sang ‘Bad Habits’ and ‘Shivers’ and took home 4 awards for Best Artist, Best Music Video and Best Live Artist and saw off DojaCat, The Weeknd, BTS and Justin Bieber to win the gong for coveted Best International Song.
Fellow Brit, Griff was ecstatic to win the award for Best New Artist.
