Taylor Swift beats Michael Jackson to become most awarded artiste of all time at AMAs
The HinduLos Angeles singer Taylor Swift emerged as the biggest winner in the history of American Music Awards with 28 total wins, beating King of Pop Michael Jackson’s record of 24 all-time wins. Swift bagged trophies in Favorite Album - Pop/Rock, Favorite Music Video, Favorite Female Artist - Pop/Rock, Favorite Artist - Adult Contemporary and Artist of the Year categories, making her the artist with the most AMAs of all time. Swift opened by praising veteran singer Carole King, who presented the award to her, for her role in music and her family’s life.
