TAYLOR TAKES THE AMAs
Posted in: Country Star News, Gloriana, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift
It was a big night for Michael Jackson at the American Music Awards, but it was an even bigger night for Taylor Swift. She won FIVE of the six awards she was nominated for, and accepted all of them via a live link from London, where she’s performing this week. Taylor is the favorite Adult Contemporary artist, the favorite Pop/Rock artist, and the favorite Country artist, which makes it no surprise that she was also named Artist of the Year. Rascal Flatts won for favorite Country Group, since it was impossible for Taylor to be nominated in that category, and likewise Keith Urban as favorite Country Male. The big, cool surprise of the night was Gloriana, a band that didn’t even really get any love at the CMAs, got the breathrough artist award. Country rules!
