At Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, the Midnights songstress, 33, and Drake made history by bringing their BBMA career wins up to 39 — making them tied for the most-awarded artist at the award show of all time. She reached the milestone by taking home 10 BBMAs, and shared an acceptance speech filmed backstage at the Eras Tour in Brazil to thank her fans for their support.
“Well, this is unreal,” Swift said in the pre-recorded speech. “The fact that you guys have given me 10 Billboard Awards — I’m talking to the fans, specifically. None of this happens without you.”
The “Anti-Hero” singer continued by showing even more love to her devoted Swifties. She said, “The Billboards base everything off of what you are listening to and what you’re passionate about, and I’m so honored that this year you made the tour, The Eras Tour, so magical. You went and saw the movie, you cared about my re-recordings. I just, like, I love you so much.”
The Grammy winner concluded, “I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have you in my corner and caring about music that I make. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, 10 million times for this.”
The “Karma” singer was the most-nominated artist at the award show, with nominations in 20 different categories. Coming only second to Morgan Wallen’s 11 wins, she ended up taking home the prize in 10 categories, including top female artist, top Billboard 200 artist, top Hot 100 songwriter, top radio songs artist, top songs sales artist, top Billboard Global 200 artist, top Billboard global (excl.
