Without hiding his surprise at the announcement, Ed said, “I didn’t come here tonight expecting to win an award, I just came to perform. But thanks for this! “

The British singer later performed his smash hit Shivers, to the delight of the crowd in Budapest, Hungary, before winning the final award of the night: Best Song for Bad Habits.

Other winners during the ceremony included Yungblud, who delivered a passionate speech in defense of individualism while collecting the Best Alternative award.

“This award is a tribute to individualism,” he said. “If you’re out there and you feel like you can’t be who you are, you can be. Keep fighting and keep being brilliant. Your individuality is the best you can have. Be proud, be proud of who you are. “
