Who was the big winner at American Music Awards 2022?
Taylor Swift was the night’s major prize, ladies and gentlemen. Including Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop Album and Favorite Country Album for Red (Taylor’s Version), Favorite Music Video for All Too Well (Taylor’s Version), Favorite Female Pop Artist, and last but not least Favorite Female Country Artist, the Snow On the Beach crooner won a total of six awards.
The 32-year-old pop artist explained that releasing songs frequently makes her happy while winning the Artist of the Year award. She also expressed her gratitude to her fans around the world for their unwavering support and affection.
The singer of Midnight Rain commented, “You know, I have released more songs in the last three years than I did in the entire decade before that. And I truly believe it is because my fans made it apparent that they wanted to hear a lot of the music I would create.
Swift continued, “You gave me confidence, and I discovered that the more music I produced and released, the happier I was. As a result, I kept that channel open and continued to create and make things. I basically owe my happiness to the fans, and I love you more than words can express, because the more things happened, the more you guys said, “Yay, keep doing it,” and the happier I was.
With 13 exclamation points, Taylor said, “I cannot convey how unbelievable it is to me that I still get to do this, and that people still care, so thank you.” I am at a loss for words. I cherish you.
