The 19-year-old pop star will host the awards ceremony — which will take place on Sunday in Belfast, Northern Ireland — and insists she will remain professional if her 17-year-old boyfriend, who is to perform at the event, wins a prize.
” It’s an awards show which I’m presenting, so I’m sure I’ll be fine if I have to present an award to Justin,” she said.
Selena is excited about presenting the awards in Belfast as it gives her the opportunity to do some sightseeing as well as check out her favorite acts, though she admits she is worried some of the audience won’t know who she is.
“I can’t wait, it’s going to be really awesome. I am quite nervous though, especially because it’s the European awards, not many people will be that familiar with who I am so there’s even more pressure on me to be a good host,” she said.
“We’re going to try to come up with really fun skits and my band and I will perform. I’m really wanting to make it be about the artists and people that are nominated, I really overall want to make it a fun show, not too crazy, just stuff that’s about the music. I’m really excited to see Coldplay perform though, I think they’re going to be phenomenal but there are so many great people nominated that it’s going to be an awesome show.
“I’m going to come in for rehearsals so I’m really excited at the thought of spending a couple of days in Ireland and hopefully doing some sightseeing too.”
The 2011 MTV EMA airs live from Belfast Sunday, November 6 at 9pm on MTV.
