Girl of the week is Taylor Swift who breaks all records
At just 29, Taylor Swift picked up the night's six main titles: best artist of the year, best female pop artist, best album, best video, best adult contemporary artist, but most of all, best artist of the decade. All well deserved, if we consider that the pop star, as well as one of the most influential characters according to Time, was the only one to sell more than a million copies of her records in the week of launch alone and the first singer to place 4 consecutive albums ( Fearless, Speak now, Red, 1989) on Billboard's Top 200 Chart for six weeks.
The legal battle for the rights to his songs
And to think that Taylor was in danger of not even attending the AMAs until a few weeks ago. That's right, that's right. Due to some bureaucratic quibbles, her old record label, Big Machine Records, did not want to give her the rights to her first singles, the ones that made her successful globally, thus preventing her from performing and appearing in the Netflix documentary that will see her as the protagonist. After a legal battle and a desperate appeal to fans, the Swifties, on the social channels, Taylor managed to win the case and get back in full possession of her songs, the ones that HER wrote and not Scooter Braun or Scott Borchetta, respectively owner and CEO of the record company and main proponents of this unwelcome situation. (I miss the most vindictive and childish exes they would go that far, so to speak).

"In the last year of my life there have been some of the most surprising and some of the most difficult things I have ever gone through", said the artist once she went on stage to receive the awards. In addition to the aforementioned disagreements, Taylor had to face a very sensitive time in the family: his mom, which we have seen always by his side, became ill with breast cancer again after four years of apparent stability.

The success obtained with Lover, the last album released in August, and the titles won in thirteen years of honorable career repay her for all the challenges she had to face in 2019, a year that seriously put her to the test. Why do we love and cheer for Taylor so much? Mainly because she didn't take shortcuts, but she owes everything to her voice and her sweat and then also because, despite being among the most famous and paid celebrities in the world, she will always remain the girl next door, the one who helps old people to cross the street. street and offers freshly baked cookies to the neighbors. TVB Taylor, never change!
