Okay … let’s just put it out there – Taylor Swift KILLED her opening performance at the 2018 American Music Awards!

 

 

Taylor opened the show with ‘I Did Something Bad’ and then won a total of four awards that night – Tour of the Year, Best Pop / Rock Album, Favourite Female Artist Pop / Rock and Artist of the Year.

 

 

Taylor Swift now has 23 wins altogether meaning, she broke the record for the most wins by a female artist at the AMAs.  Taylor surpasses Whitney Houston, is tied with the group Alabama and has one less than Michael Jackson who has 24.

When Taylor accepted her award for Tour of the Year, she thanked both Charli XCX and Camila Cabello, “I want to thank my tour mates, Charli XCX and Camila Cabello.  I want to thank my dancers, backup singers, the band.  Most of all, though, to the fans. If you didn’t want to hang out with us, we wouldn’t have been on an amazingly fun stadium tour. Thank you for everything. I love you guys.”

 

 

Taylor also used her platform that night to encourage people to get out and vote, “I understand how lucky I am to have anyone that cares about me or my music. Every time that you have made me lucky enough to ever get to stand on a stage and have something really sparkly in my hands and say thank you, every single time this happens, it means something differently to me.  This time, it represents encouragement and motivation for me to be better, work harder and make you guys proud as much as I possibly can.”

 

Taylor continues, “I wanted to make a mention of the fact that this award and every single award given out tonight were voted on by the people and you know what else is voted on by the people? The midterm elections on November 6th. Get out and vote. I love you guys.”

 

 

During Taylor’s acceptance speech for Pop / Rock Album, she hinted at a little something, “Guys, I always look at albums as chapters in my life. And I’m so—to the fans, I’m so happy that you like this one. I’m so happy that this means that you like this one. But I have to be really honest with you about something.  I’m even more excited about the next chapter.”

 

 

WAIT!!! Did Taylor say what I think she said … could this mean … NEW ALBUM?!?! 

 

 

And it looks like Taylor found herself a new BFF – Camila Cabello! Seeing them sit together at every award show gives me life!
