Sienna Spiro has been named Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, cementing her status as one of the UK’s most exciting new music stars.
The London-born singer picked up the coveted award at the 2026 VMAs on Sunday night, after also taking to the stage during the ceremony in Los Angeles.
The 21-year-old beat fellow nominees including Sombr, Stella Lefty, Alex Warren and Katseye to take home the award, with the category decided by fan voting.

And while her star is rapidly rising, London fans will have the chance to see Spiro back on home turf next year.
Despite having a relatively small back catalogue, she has already built a huge following thanks to her powerful vocals, deeply emotional lyrics and blend of modern pop with soul and jazz influences.
Her sound draws inspiration from artists including Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Frank Sinatra and Frank Ocean, while she has also received praise from the likes of SZA and Snoh Aalegra.
Spiro began writing songs when she was just ten years old before finding an audience on TikTok.
One of her early covers, Donald Glover’s Redbone, racked up more than 6.7 million views and helped put her vocal ability firmly on the map.
She released her debut single NEED ME in May 2024, followed by MAYBE. in August that year.

The latter quickly became a breakout hit, amassing millions of streams and appearing on Spotify‘s Viral charts in the UK, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Her next singles TAXI DRIVER and BACK TO BLONDE followed later in 2024, before they were joined by her debut EP SINK NOW, SWIM LATER in 2025.
But it was Die On This Hill that really propelled Spiro into the mainstream.

The emotional ballad became her first UK Top 10 single and earned support from BBC Radio 1 and Capital FM.
She has since amassed more than 170 million streams and performed around the world, including a support slot on Teddy Swims’ US tour.
Her rise has now reached another major milestone after she was crowned Best New Artist at the VMAs.

However, any fans hoping to see the newly crowned VMA winner in London will need to act quickly and add their names to waiting lists for remaining tickets, as all four Eventim Apollo dates are currently listed as sold out.

Seated tickets were priced at £52, while some restricted-view standing tickets were also £43.25.
The tickets are currently unavailable, with Eventim describing the shows as sold out.
Fans can still keep an eye on official ticketing platforms for any further availability, rather than relying on unofficial sellers.
With Spiro having just picked up one of the biggest awards of her career, demand for her London shows is unlikely to slow down anytime soon.
