Taylor Swift named American Music Awards artist of the year for a record sixth time
Taylor Swift has been named artist of the year at the American Music Awards and won two other trophies in a ceremony held live in Los Angeles amid tight coronavirus restrictions.
Key points:
- Taylor Swift says she did not attend the AMAs because she was re-recording all her old albums
- The Weeknd and Doja Cat were the other big winners, while K-pop group BTS also won two awards
- This year’s show celebrated the surge in popularity in Latin music with expanded categories and performances
It was a record sixth win by Swift of the top prize at the fan-voted show, although she was absent from the Los Angeles ceremony and accepted her trophy by video, thanking fans for their support of her surprise lockdown album folklore.
