Heidi Klum with big winner Taylor Swift.

The 2012 MTV Euro Music Awards took place in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday night (11 November) and belonged to Taylor Swift and Bieber who won three awards each.

The ceremony aired live on MTV and was hosted by Heidi Klum who broke into German on Twitter and brought Project Runway with her, changing into multiple outfits throughout the night.

Other notable wins went to Simon Cowell's X Factor boy band One Direction who won two categories: Best New Act and Biggest Fans.

Psy also made a splash when he won Best Video for “Gangnam Style" - which he performed in a video segment with Heidi Klum during the show. A clip of it if you missed it:

Heidi Klums' gold/yellow thing she is wearing, didn't do justice to her cleavage, the boobs are ugly, needed covering up. Ever heard of wonder bras?
