Taylor Swift’s Big Decade

Taylor Swift will be honored at the 2019 American Music Awards.

Producers announced that Swift, 29, will perform and receive the Artist of the Decade award at the awards show November 24th in Los Angeles.

“She’s won more #AMAs than anyone this decade… She’s a five-time 2019 #AMAs nominee… AND she’s performing at this year’s #AMAs LIVE on Nov. 24… @taylorswift13 is our ARTIST OF THE DECADE,” a twitter post reads.

Swift has won 23 AMAs throughout her career, one less than Michael Jackson, who holds the record for AMA wins. Her awards include the Dick Clark Award for Excellence, which she accepted at the 2014 AMAs.

Swift is nominated for five awards, including Artist of the Year and Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist, at this year’s ceremony. Her performance will celebrate the biggest hits of her 13-year career.
