The MTV Europe Music Awards 2013 were held in Amsterdam only a few hours ago and, as with every other MTV awards show, they did not fail to shock, surprise and wow. Katy Perry definitely falls into that last category with her amazing performance.

You can see it in full below.

Katy took to the stage to perform “Unconditionally,” which saw her being lifted high up in the air like a giant butterfly, and then soar in a gorgeous bejeweled bodysuit that caught the light and made her sparkle like a diamond.

It was an emotional and beautiful performance but, as Katy teased MTV before the awards show, it was also “challenging.”

“It's unlike any of the performances I've done before. It looks like I'm being abducted, basically... and also there's a bit of a magic trick in it — I'm not getting sawed in half, I'll do that later — I'll be floating in space,” she said.

At the awards, Katy also won Best Female.
