Taylor Swift continued her recent whirlwind success by taking four trophies at this week’s American Music Awards. As well as being awarded ‘Favourite Female Pop/Rock Artist’, ‘Favourite Female Country Artist’ and ‘Favourite Country Album’ for RED, Taylor also picked up the night’s main award, for Artist of the Year. On receiving her fourth award, Taylor said: “This validates that if you voted for this, that we are heartbroken in the same way and we fall in love the same way and we’re happy in the same way, and if you listen to this, we’re on the same page … we’re pretty much in it together.” Elsewhere, there were wins for Luke Bryan – Favourite Male Country Artist and Lady Antebellum – Favourite Country Band/Duo.
