Taylor Swift won big at the American Music Awards 2022 taking home six awards, including Artist of the Year.
“In the past few years, I have released more music than I did in the entire decade preceding that,” she said during her acceptance speech. “I really feel that’s down to the fact that you, the fans, made it clear that you wanted to hear lots of music that I would make — you encouraged me.”
Swift said that the more music she put out the happier she felt and thanked the fans for her happiness as they were the motivators.
Other winners of the night included Beyoncé, who took Favorite R&B Artist and Bad Bunny, who managed to take two, including Favorite Make Latin Artist. Harry Styles, BTS, Morgan Wallen, Tems, Wizkid and Kendrick Lamar each took two awards
