Canada’s Carly Rae Jepsen is also up for Best Song, for her viral hit ‘Call Me Maybe.’ ‘This will be my first time at the MTV EMA, and I am beyond thrilled – feeling like a lucky duck for the nominations and the chance to perform,’ the singer said. ‘Now the only concern is what to wear?! Let the party begin, Frankfurt.’
U.S. alt-pop trio fun., whose ‘We Are Young’ is also a Best Song contender, said, ‘It’s so incredible that we’ll be playing at the MTV EMA, when not that long ago not many people knew who we were in Europe! It just feels like that dream most people don’t get to experience.’
And Rita Ora, whose debut album has notched three number one singles in her native U.K., said, ‘I’m so excited to be part of the 2012 MTV EMA! And to be nominated is incredible – let’s have some fun this year!’
