American Music Awards: 1D won big, but Taylor Swift stole the show

By Tribute on November 24, 2014 | 1 Comment


Taylor-Swift-AMAs-creditThe American Music Awards took place Sunday night, highlighting some of the best and most popular artists of 2014. Boy band One Direction were the big winners of the night, taking home Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group and Favorite Pop/Rock Album. Taylor Swift was honored with the Dick Clark Award for Excellence, but her biggest moment of the night was her stand-out opening of “Blank Space.” The pop singer absolutely nailed the performance, which satires the way her personal life has been portrayed in the media (sorry, Taylor!).

Other highlights included hip hop artist Iggy Azalea’s double win of Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album, which she said was her very first win. British singer Sam Smith took everyone’s breath away with his soulful performance of “Not The Only One.” ~Kelly Townsend
