She’s practically taking over the world anyway, so it’s no surprise to see Tove Lo pick up the Eliason Merit Award.
Tove Lo receives the EMA2015 for her persistent musical innovation that has put Sweden in the international spotlight and helped strengthen the relations between the United States and Sweden. With 1 billion streams world wide and mega hits like “Talking body” x2 platinum awarded and “Habits” x3 platinum awarded, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and over 4 million copies sold, she has quickly become a rising star and one of Sweden’s most exported artists.
Previous winners include Steve Angello (DJ and former member of Swedish House Mafia), and three-time Academy Award winner, Pia Sundhage.
