Katy Perry was mistakenly given Best International Song Of The Year Award for “I Kissed a Girl” at the NRJ Music Award at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes France on Saturday when she had actually won in another category. NRJ is France’s foremost music awards show.
The trophies were given based on results of audience votes on NRJ’s website in the weeks prior to the awards ceremony.
Perry had walked up to the podium to receive the award for Best International Song Of The Year, when she had actually won Best International Album for “One of the Boys”. Rihanna was the actual winner for Best International Song Of The Year for “Disturbia.”
At the end of the show however, the host Nikos Aliagas apologized and then announced that there had been an error during the counting of the votes and she was not the winner. Rihanna was for “Disturbia.”
Britney Spears who was not present to pick up her award won for international artist of the year. The Pussycat Dolls won for best international group and Enrique Iglesias was named top international male artist.
