Grammy Awards er uden tvivl den mest prestigefyldte musikpris i USA, men American Music Awards har også sin berettigelse. Her er det nemlig befolkningen, der stemmer på deres favoritter, og ikke en jury som til Grammys.
I går fandt den 46. udgave af prisuddelingen sted i Microsoft Theater i Los Angeles, og det var Taylor Swift, som blev aftenens helt store vinder. Hun vandt i alt fire priser, blandt andet Tour of the Year og hovedprisen Artist of the Year.
Camila Cabello tog også fire priser med hjem (tre af dem for Young Thug-samarbejdet ‘Havana’), mens Cardi B vandt tre statuetter og Post Malone to.
Afdøde XXXTentacion vandt også en pris for albummet ’17’, som lidt spøjst fik prisen for Favorite Album Soul/R&B. At kalde ’17’ for soul er vist en tilsnigelse, men American Music Awards havde jo øjensynligt ikke en pris for bedste emorap, og lidt r’n’b er der da over det.
Nederst kan du også se Swifts takketale for Artist of the Year, hvor hun opfordrer folk til at stemme til midtvejsvalget i USA.
