Taylor Swift earned the most coveted award at the American Music Awards on Sunday, November 20, when she was crowned artist of the year in the world’s largest fan-voted ceremony.
After releasing four original albums and two re-recordings in the past three years, the “Anti-Hero” singer thanked voters for their support.
“I cannot convey how incredible it is to me that I still do this and that you still care,” she remarked during the Los Angeles awards ceremony.
Swift’s re-recording of her 2012 album Red won the award for favorite pop album earlier. In response to a conflict with her former record label, the 32-year-old singer has begun re-recording her previous albums. She stated, “I cannot express how much my re-recorded albums mean to me, but I never expected or assumed they would mean anything to you.”
