To say 2021 was an impressive year for Taylor Swift would be an understatement(低调说法). She not only re-released multiple recordings of her earlier albums, but also dropped new, never-before-heard music while she was at it. And as the 2021 American Music Awards kicked off on Nov. 21, Taylor Swift only continued to impress. Swift broke records at this year’s show, and Swifties couldn’t be more proud.
The singer took home the award for Favorite Female Pop Artist, which brought her to a grand total of 34 AMAs throughout the course of her career. The new number broke her previous record of 32 wins. Basically, it’s a big deal for Swifties.
The AMAs broadcast on ABC from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and while Swift wasn’t in attendance, she virtually accepted her awards with a meaningful speech.
Last year, she wasn’t there, either, and she had quite the explanation for not being at the show. Appearing via video from another location, Swift thanked her fans, who she said “have been beyond wonderful all the years of my career, but especially this one when we’ve been so far apart, we haven’t been able to see each other in concert” because of the pandemic. “The reason I’m not there tonight is I’m actually recording all of my old music in the studio where we originally recorded it,” Swift added. “So, it’s been amazing, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”
Swift also gave a shout out to Swifties for supporting her new album, Red (Taylor’s Version). “I just want to say to the fans, thank you for all the amazing support that you have thrown my way with Red (my version),” she said. “It’s been so much fun. I’m so lucky to be in your life and to get to have you in mine. Have a great night. Love you guys.”
Fans were thrilled to see her break the record, even if she didn’t win Artist of the Year. (That honor went to BTS; other nominees in the category were Ariana Grande, Drake, Olivia Rodrigo, and The Weeknd.)
