Taylor Swift has expanded her lead as the most awarded star in American Music Awards history, with three wins in one night also rewarding Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, BTS and more.

The Pop Music Awards, now in its 48th year, gave Swift the top artist of the year award, following the release of the acclaimed album Folklore in July. She also won Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Music Video for Cardigan, bringing her overall tally to 32 wins.

In a video acceptance speech, he said: “The reason I’m not there tonight is that I’m actually recording all my old music in the studio where we originally recorded it. So it’s been amazing and I can’t wait for you to hear it. “Swift’s decision to re-record her previous albums was made amid a long dispute with music manager Scooter Braun, who owns the master recordings and sold them to a private equity firm last week.

Favorite Male Artist was won by Justin Bieber, who also won Collaboration of the Year and Favorite Song (Country) for 10,000 Hours, his song with country duo Dan + Shay, beating tough competition from artists like Megan Thee Stallion with Cardi B and Beyoncé. The Weeknd also won three awards, dominating the soul / R & B categories.

Doja Cat won the award for new artist of the year and favorite female artist (soul / R & B), while the K-pop boy band BTS won the favorite duo or group (pop / rock) and favorite social artist. The UK hits came in the form of Harry Styles, favorite album winner (pop / rock) for Fine Line, and Dua Lipa, favorite song winner (pop / rock) for Don’t Start Now.

The awards were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and were presented in front of a small audience by Taraji P Henson, with live performances from Bieber, BTS, Megan Thee Stallion and more.
