Taylor Swift has broken a new record at the Billboard Music Awards.
Earlier this month, Beyoncé was named the #1 pop star of the twenty-first century. At less than one-quarter, it may be a little premature.
Taylor was her closest rival for the title. But Taylor herself is not without awards.
At the Billboard Music Awards, he hit a new milestone — and beat out a controversial singer.

Thursday, December 12 was a big night for awards shows. In addition to the Game Awards, it was the night of the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
Taylor Swift didn’t just win 10 awards. Although she did a lot of this and earned titles like Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top board 200 Artists, Top Hot 100 Artists, Hot 100 Songwriters, Top Streaming Songs Artists, and Top board 200.
Additionally, he also earned the title of Most Decorated Winner. He has a total of 49 Billboard Music Awards trophies during his vast career.
Before Thursday night’s awards show, Taylor had 39 trophies — and she was tied with Drake, who also had 39 awards. Despite the deep controversies surrounding the rapper, he took home three awards on Thursday night.
However, if our math is correct, 42 is still less than 49. This means Taylor is no longer tied down, and has an unmatched collection of Billboard Music Awards.
Taylor Swift addressed the Billboard Music Awards audience in a pre-recorded speech. In particular, he thanked those who “care about our albums and come to see us in concerts.”

Taylor expressed, “After everything that happened with the Eras Tour and ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ I just have to say thank you.”
He told the audience, “It’s a big thing for me that you guys have accepted the things I’ve created.” “And,” she added, “the fact that you cared so much about my music.”
In reference to the fact that Friday, December 13 is her birthday, Taylor said the award was “the best early birthday present” and “exactly what I wanted.”
Of course, this isn’t Taylor’s first time dominating at the Billboard Music Awards — or any other awards category.
In 2022, Taylor became the first artist to occupy the top ten spots on the Billboard Hot 100. midnight,
That record was later broken in 2024 when an artist occupied the top fourteen spots on the same list. Obviously, that artist was Taylor. This time, the album was Tortured Poets Department,
she remains undefeated
Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department spent a lot sixteen Weeks at the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Although she certainly has better albums, none of them match that achievement – which is a testament to her popularity.
By the way, in 2023, Taylor became the only living artist to have five of her albums chart in the top 10 at the same time.
Beyoncé has achieved tremendous things to reach this point in the industry. But she and Taylor are often seen at loggerheads for a reason.
