Taylor Swift Wins Artist of the Year I AMAs 2019

We are going up on a Sunday, y'all. Hey, this show is lit. There is a huge performance still coming up by Shania Twain. But right now I am so excited to announce and present this year's most prestigious award. And the American Music Award goes to Artist of the Year Taylor Swift. I really, I really don't have anything articulate to say, I just just the fact that like the last year of my life has had some of the most amazing times and also some of the just like hardest things I've gone through in my life and not a lot of them are things that haven't been public. And I wanted to thank you so much for being the thing that has been a constant in my life. This industry is really weird, where like sometimes people who do what we do feel like. And as I'm sure some of you feel like this, too, with like your lives, like you feel like your stock is either up or down and people either like you or they don't, or you're feeling bad about yourself. But the people who hang in there for you are the ones that you will never forget. And the fans who have hung in there for 15 years of me doing this. OK, like I like I don't even know what I'm saying, because like literally like speech of the whole night goes to Halsey, like winner of the whole evening for that speech. I don't know what I'm talking about other than the fact that this was just like this year for me has been a lot. It's been a lot of good. It's been a lot of really complicated. And so on behalf of like my family and me, thank you so much for for being there and for caring. I'm nominated against some absolutely iconic artists. This is crazy. Tonight was an amazing night full of the most unforgettable performances. This is such a great year in music. The new artists are insane. I'm lucky to be here. I know that every step of the way. Thank you so much.
