Selena Gomez emerged onstage amidst low lights and fog, looking ethereal and slightly もっと見る grown-up. Although it wasn't a stadium-rocking performance like Lady Gaga または Katy Perry, Gomez powered through her pop song with a sense of earnestness and commitment. She didn't even miss a beat when her earpiece appeared to fall out mid-song.

Gomez and her band were presented with the お気に入り Breakout Artist award, beating out B.o.B, Ke$ha, Bruno Mars and, curiously enough, Justin Bieber. Gomez was noticeably moved によって the recognition. "Thank あなた so much," she said. "If あなた let me, I would do this forever."

The teen クイーン told MTV News earlier this 年 that her album was partly inspired によって her fans.

"I mean, even down from putting the track listing and numbering it, I wanted to make sure I envisioned [fans] putting it in their car または putting it on their iPod and how I wanted them to listen to the record," she explained of the process. "I wanted to make sure it made people feel good, but I also dedicated a couple songs to my fans, because there were moments onstage that I wish I could give to them, because they mean so much to me."
