Ed Sheeran,Thailand ah bless him. He just can't get a break these days, can he?

He took to the stage and began by saying: 'Thank you'. Good start.

"This is only my second ever VMA and em, I'm, yeah, this is still mad," he continued.

But then he looked over to his side and double checked who he should be thanking for the award.

"It's not voted is it?" he asked, enquiring whether the award was decided by the public. (No, it isn't Ed).

His question didn't go unnoticed though:

Still, he recovered it nicely and wrapped things up by thanking his fans, record label and the man who made the videos for his latest album.

Others were amazed at the competition Sheeran beat to take home the award. He was up against Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd and Lorde.
