Taylor Swift gets the most prestigious award at the American Music Awards

Taylor Swift earned the most coveted award at the American Music Awards on Sunday, November 20, when she was crowned artist of the year in the world’s largest fan-voted ceremony.

After releasing four original albums and two re-recordings in the past three years, the “Anti-Hero” singer thanked voters for their support.

“I cannot convey how incredible it is to me that I still do this and that you still care,” she remarked during the Los Angeles awards ceremony.

Swift’s re-recording of her 2012 album Red won the award for favorite pop album earlier. In response to a conflict with her former record label, the 32-year-old singer has begun re-recording her previous albums. She stated, “I cannot express how much my re-recorded albums mean to me, but I never expected or assumed they would mean anything to you.”
