Ariana Grande took home the biggest award of the night, Artist of the Year and Zayn made it very clear he’s going in one direction when he joked “This one just has my name on it, right?” as he accepted his award for New Artist of the Year.

The night took a somber turn when the Top Soundtrack award went to Prince posthumously for Purple Rain. His sister, Tyka Nelson accepted on his behalf bringing tears to the eyes of the audience members.
