Taylor Swift Moonwalks Past Michael Jackson's Record at AMA Awards

Associated Press

   Taylor Swift has moonwalked past Michael Jackson's record at the 2019
   American Music Awards, taking home six honors including artist of the
   year and artist of the decade.

   The pop star, who walked into Sunday night's show with 23 AMAs,
   surpassed the King of Pop's 24 wins at the fan-voted show. She rambled
   onstage as she won the final award of the night -- artist of the year
   -- and repeatedly thanked her fans for always showing up -- during both
   the good and bad times.

   "This year has been a lot of good, a lot of really complicated, so
   behalf of my family and me, thank you so much for being there and
   caring," said Swift, who now has 29 AMAs.

   It was a family affair at the AMAs: Swift's father and teary-eyed mom
   sang along as the singer performed a medley of her hit songs -- a
   performance Swift said in a Nov. 15 social media post was put in
   jeopardy by Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun, the owners of her master
   recordings.
