OlderTaylor Swift Takes Home Five American Music Awards
Taylor Swift cleaned up at the American Music Awards on Sunday (November 22), taking home five awards, including the biggest award of the evening, Artist of the Year.
The 19-year-old singer also won Favorite Female Artist (Country), Favorite Female Artist (Pop/Rock), Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist and Favorite Album.
Tay watched the show via satellite in London’s Wembley Arena, where she’ll be performing tonight in a sold-out show - she accepted Artist of the Year at nearly 4 a.m. London time!
“Music has never been ultimately about competition,” Taylor said. “And to even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honor.
I just want to say that I’m sending my love to the Jackson family, and to Janet for reaching out to me the way that you have. And, to the fans, you have given me so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I hope you guys have an awesome Thanksgiving…..l miss and I love you. Thank you so much!”
Congratulations, T!!

LORD…who votes on this stuff? seriously, do the teenage girls/boys get to vote for these awards? Love taylor, but she is an awful, awful singer. To beat out most of the competition in her category, it’s just a disgrace! It makes me stop and rethink the quality of our music industry..Oh, and another question…that crazy adam lambert lost AI, but sang on AMA, and had a front pager in Vanity Fair???
my ears bleed when she sings
congrats taylor:) wow she has acomplished a lot of things at a very short age, a lot of people are jealous right now
why?!? i mean she sounds fine on the radio/cd versions of her songs but live, she is horrible… people are still feeling sorry for her and that whole kanye thing… how else could she beat out such top heavyweights like Michale Jackson & Eminem?!?
I am so sick and tired of hearing how shes the best blah blah blah!
make up your mind if your country or pop!
congrats on your “win”
i guess
This is so sad that she is winning all these awards. She even beat out such greats as Reba McEntire, who has an AMAZING voice. Taylor only sounds good on her CD’s where they clean up her voice. Go to youtube and type in Taylor Live and you can see that she honestly cannot sing at all. And the worst part is all these TRUE artists are being snubbed over for some little blond in a miniskirt.
@maddie:
the same ..!
I love her. She is so amazing and perfect in every way!
Never been a big Taylor Swift fan. Something about her face–big cheekbones, eyes too far apart–just annoys me. I know it’s wrong to judge people in that way, especially musicians, but I can’t help it. Good for her, though. Congrats.
How could she beat MJ, KINGS OF LEON and LADY GAGA!!!! The world is going crazy… she is so blááááá.
and sereously, beyoncé is much better than her. in every sense of the word.
I think it goes by sales and she beat everyone! I do like the fact that she writes, she plays her guitar and performs and doesn’t have to look and dance like a stripper. good for her
very pretty girl. seems genuinely nice. but artist of the year. overrated and undeserved. come on. seriously. no way.
Rhonda, I agree with you. She has a lot of fans, sold millions and have been selling out venues in a matter of minutes. I also agree that she does not sing very well.
Unreal she is winning all these awards! Amas are fan voted so that makes a little more sense. But sweeping at the CMAs?? Craziness!
I agree she has no vocal talent! CD/Radio fine live awful! Song writing is her strong point!
Grammys should stop her madness!
Taylor seems like a nice girl but she is OVERRATED in every sense. She’s sweet and all but she cannot sing. She does NOT deserve to win over Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. Teeny boppers vote for these awards. She does not deserve to win over Reba McEntire who is a legend in country. She is not and will never be a legend. To be honest, I like her because she writes, but her songs aren’t that great. Sales success she deserves but awards like this she does not.
@JIll:
I agree with you
She’s awesome and she deserves all her winnings! She works hard and deserves the recognition! Don’t why she send out her sympathies to those vultures aka the Jackson clan but she’s young and probably star struck!
Good for her! She seems like a very nice girl and is a great role model for all the young girls our there.
Has she won all these awards for the same album? or is there more than one album?
If it’s Carrie Underwood sweeping all the awards, I can understand. But Taylor can’t sing, and she is making pop music while telling people that’s country music. Good marketing strategy to sell something that’s not what you adverse but not very honest.
Kanye should have interrupted her ass again! She so didn’t deserve it
Well, congrats o her, though i’m sort of tires of her winning everything.
I love her music and her person but i think thre’s a limit. She wins everything.
It’s like I don’t even have to watch the categories she’s being nominated for because i know she’s gonna win.
As I said, Congrats anyway!
she is not that great, i don’t get it! also she is not cute, there is something wrong with her eyes.
Taylor was quoted as saying that the awards were not about competition—then why does she go on all her sites and BEG for votes??????? She did not deserve these awards at all. She can not sing. Underwood should have won for country and Beyonce for pop. They can sing. She is so overrated. Yes she has had a good tour–but it is from the kids–twilight-Disney groups that are going. She CO-writes her songs with Liz Rose-not by herself. Underwood and many others CO-writes their songs also. The boy-girl break up songs by Swift have gotten old and boring. She only sings in 2 keys in all her songs and sings terrible live. The studio has enhanced her voice to sound better and sell records. They have fooled the kids into believing she can sing. She is not a teenager–she is 20 years old in a month–and dating a 17 year old boy–jail bait. Role model?? Don’t think so!!!
Sure she’s a great singer and a genuniely nice girl, but the is no way in hell she could beat MJ, the KING OF POP. (in my opinion) she’s wrote a couple of good songs, but she can even be COMPARED to Michael. He has beat out every artist there has ever been pretty much. and his sales are much MUCH higher than hers. (i know he’s been in the industry 40 years more than her but,) not to mention that he was the sweetest, more caring, beautiful artist that ever lived. he was truly a genius. RIP Michael, we will love you forever.
(NO OFFENCE TO TAYLOR SWIFT, she’s a great singer and sweet girl.) :)
its a very sad year for entertainment, wtf is going on
