Taylor Swift picks up American Music Awards in all six categories in which she was nominated.
Taylor Swift (32) is the big winner at the 50th American Music Awards (AMA). At the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, the singer picked up six prizes. She also won in all categories in which she was nominated.
Taylor Swift won the AMA’s top prize, Artist of the Year. She also won awards for both Best Female Pop Artist and Best Country Singer. Their album Red (Taylor’s Version) also landed a double win for both Best Pop Album and Best Country Album. The sixth award was for the best music video “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)”.
Taylor Swift extends record, Bad Bunny disappoints
With the six awards, Taylor Swift is building on her record at the American Music Awards. The singer has now won 40 AMAs in her career. Her previous 34 awards already set the record for the American music prize.
Harry Styles (28) was awarded Best Male Pop Artist at the ceremony. The best newcomer is singer Dove Cameron (26). The Icon Award for Lifetime Achievement went to Lionel Richie (73).
The award ceremony for Bad Bunny (28) was disappointing. The reggaeton star from Puerto Rico was nominated eight times, more than any other artist of the night. But he only took home two awards, for Best Latin Artist and Best Latin Album.
