Shawn Mendes dominated the 2018 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards on Sunday night, performing twice and taking home the Artist of the Year, Best Pop Artist or Group, Fan Fave Artist, and Fan Fave Video awards.

“This is home,” Mendes said while holding the MMVA for artist of the year. “This means the absolute world to me.” He also clowned the crowd at a different point in the show by coming out wearing DJ Marshmello’s disguise.

Fellow hometown hero Drake added two more MMVAs to his collection, winning Best Hip Hop Artist or Group and Best Director with Karena Evans for “God’s Plan.”

Meanwhile, Ontario-bred DJs Loud Luxury claimed the Song of the Summer for “Body” (featuring Brando), while Ottawa’s Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine, featured on the first season of CTV’s The Launch, took home Best New Canadian Artist for their hit “Ain’t Easy,” while Alessia Cara locked down Video of the Year for her and Khalid’s collaboration on Logic’s song “1-800-273-8255.”

Other performers on the show included Halsey (who won the Artist for Change prize), Meghan Trainor, blow, Kris Wu, The Beaches, 98 Degrees, and Anne-Marie with Marshmello, (the latter of whom won the Best EDM/Dance Artist or Group prize), and Brett Kissel with Bebe Rexha.
