The singer Taylor Swift made history on Thursday night (12) by becoming the most awarded artist at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMA) with a total of 49 trophies in his career. She won 10 awards at the event in categories including Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Billboard 200 Artist, Hot 100 Artist, Hot 100 Songwriter, Most Streamed Songs Artist and Billboard 200.
The “Fortnight” voice and Drake were tied with 39 wins heading into Thursday’s ceremony. Drake took home three Billboard Awards, bringing his total to 42 wins.
In a pre-recorded speech, Taylor thanked Billboard and her supporters for being the ones who “care about our albums and come see us in concert.”
“Everything that happened with the ‘Eras Tour’ and ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, I just have to be grateful. It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I’ve created and the fact that you care so much about my music,” she added.
She, who turns 35 on Friday (13), said at the end of her speech that “this is the coolest early birthday present” she could have received. “It’s exactly what I wanted,” he added.
In 2022, she became the first artist to occupy the entire top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 with songs from “Midnights,” released that same year, and earlier this year, she broke her own record when she captured the top 14 positions on the Hot 100 after the release of “The Tortured Poets Department”.
“TTPD” spent 16 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, more than any of her other albums, and, according to the music chart website, she became the only living artist to have five albums simultaneously in the top 10 in 2023.
The Billboard Music Awards were broadcast on FOX with comedian and actress Michelle Buteau as the evening’s host. Among the artists who performed were Coldplay, Linkin Park, Shaboozey and many others.
