Taylor Swift beats Michael Jackson’s record for most American music awards

American Pop star Taylor Swift made history at the 2019 American Music Awards by breaking Michael Jackson’s record for all-time AMA wins. She was also named as the Artist of the Decade at the AMAs in 2019.

The Lover singer walked away with 29 awards, which makes her the most decorated artist of the ceremony.

The 29-year-old smashed Michael Jackson’s record of 24 with her whooping amount of wins. She walked in with 23 under her belt and was awarded six more on the night, including Artist of the Decade.

When it came to Favorite Album – Pop/Rock, Swift’s Lover beat out Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next, and the singer could hardly believe it.

“This is amazing,” she said while holding her trophy, stunned. “That was a really tough category… I didn’t think I was gonna win this one.”

“I really love my record label, Universal Republic. Thank you for being so generous and letting me make whatever music I want to make,” Swift said, excitedly.

The singer is set to perform a medley of her songs when she takes the stage before accepting her Artist of the Decade award.
