Taylor Swift Beats out Michael Jackson for AMA’s Artist of the Year

Taylor Swift keeps on racking up awards. This time it was the American Music Awards. Taylor Swift took home  Favorite Female Pop / Rock Artist, Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist, Favorite Female Country Artist, Favorite Country Music Album (Fearless), and Artist of the Year.

Taylor Swift was rehearsing in London for the 2010 leg of her Fearless tour and could not attend the awards show. She was available “live via satellite” (I love how they still use that term) to accept her awards and was her gracious, adorable self.

Taylor Swift tickets continue to be among the hottest on FanSnap. In 2009, Taylor Swift tickets were second to only U2 tickets and Bruce Springsteen tickets in demand. In 2010, Lady Gaga is giving Taylor Swift a run for her money, at least in the ticket demand category. Lady Gaga clearly has a flare for the dramatic as you can see below from her performance at the AMAs.

We love that on our iPods, music award shows and the concerts we want to go to, a country girl singing about bad breakups while strumming the guitar and masked rocker singing “Gaga Ooh la la…” are at the top of the list.

David Itzkoff has more memorable moments from the AMAs in his pieces, Proud to Be an American: Remembering the 2009 American Music Awards here.
