When “Torn” Took Over the World – Own the Moment
In 1997, a song changed everything.
With its raw vulnerability, soaring chorus and unforgettable video, “Torn” turned Natalia Imbruglia into a global star. It was the soundtrack to late-90s radio, MTV countdowns, bedroom CD players and heartbreak everywhere.
Now, two original MTV Europe Awards from 1998, awarded for that very song, are coming to auction.
Best Song – “Torn”
Best New Artist in a Video – “Torn”
These aren’t replicas. They are the official MTV statuettes presented at the height of Imbruglia’s breakthrough. Physical symbols of the moment Torn became one of the defining anthems of a generation.
For collectors of modern music history, awards like this represent something rare:
A tangible link to a cultural flashpoint.
A song everyone remembers.
An era instantly recognisable.
From the first acoustic strum to that final chorus, Torn remains one of the most enduring pop songs of the 1990s and these awards celebrate the moment it conquered the world.
