Taylor Swift earned top honors at the 2013 American Music Awards Sunday night in Los Angeles, winning artist of the year in the fan-voted event. The country/pop starlet beat out fellow nominees Macklemore & Lewis, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake.
"My lucky number is 13, and so far you guys have made 2013 the most magical year so far," she said to her fans during her acceptance speech. "I'm 23 and I have no idea what's going to happen to me...I love you so much. It's unbelievable.
Swift, donning a short gold dress, also received the favorite country album honor for "Red." She said, "I cannot believe what you've done in the last year. This album came out almost exactly a year ago and the fact that 6 million of you went out and bought it is crazy.. Thank you, you are everything to me. I really appreciate this." Swift thanked radio when she received yet another awards -- favorite female country artist.
But the "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer wasn't the only taking home honors. She also gave out an award, presenting the first honor of the night -- favorite pop/rock male -- to Timberlake. "These are voted on by the fans – everyone who took to their Twitter…and got busy, this means so much to me, thank you," he said. He later returned to the stage for two more awards: favorite soul/R&B male artist and favorite soul/R&B album.
