Los Angeles: Singer Taylor Swift has won six awards at this year’s American Music Awards (AMA), taking her all-time total to 29. With this, Taylor surpasses the record of late pop king Michael Jackson’s record of 24.
The 29-year-old star was honoured with the prestigious artist of the decade and artist of the year accolades, as well as favourite artist – adult contemporary, favourite album – pop/rock for ‘Lover’, favourite music video for ‘You need to calm down’, and favourite female artist – pop/rock, reports metro.co.uk.
Swift has been embroiled in a high-profile feud with Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta. She has earlier revealed that they are preventing her from using her old music for the award show and a Netflix documentary.
While accepting the awards, Swift said: “The last year of my life has had some of the most amazing times and also some of the hardest things I’ve gone through in my life and not a lot of them are things that haven’t been public.And I wanted to thank you so much for being the thing that has been a constant in my life.
“Like, this industry is really weird. You feel like your stock is either up or down and people either like you or they don’t or you’re feeling bad about yourself. But the people that hang in there for you are the ones that you will never forget. ‘This year for me has been a lot. It’s been a lot of good, a lot of really complicated. And so on behalf of my family and me, thank you so much for being there and for caring.”
