At last night’s telecast of the 2018 American Music Awards held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Taylor Swift came out as the night’s big winner. Not only did she perform in the award show’s coveted opening number, but she also took home the award for “Artist of the Year” and three other awards, putting her in a tie for most awards for any single person on the night.
Taylor’s new haul this year now gives the pop singer, over the course of her career, the highest number of AMA awards of any woman with 23. That total leaves her only one behind Michael Jackson for most among any artist in history.
Taylor’s close friend and Reputation Tour supporting act, Camila Cabello, also had a big night with four awards.
We have the full list of category nominees and winners below.
