New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Taylor Swift has become the most awarded musician in the history of the American
Music Awards (AMAs), after winning the biggest award of the night - Artist of the Year. Audience members were heard shouting: "Taylor! Taylor" as
Lenny Kravitz presented the honour - and she did end up winning. In her last acceptance speech for the night the singer turned political, echoing her recent Instagram post which urged voters to back the Democrat candidate in Tennessee's Senate race.
"I understand how lucky I am to have anyone that cares about me or my music. Every time that you have made me lucky enough to ever get to stand on a stage and have something really sparkly in my hands and say thank you, every single time this happens... it means something different to me," the Bad Blood singer said.
