Taylor Swift is set to receive a huge honor, as she will receive the artist of the decade award at the American Music Awards next month.
Dick Clark Productions announced Wednesday that Swift will be honored during an ABC live telecast on Nov. 24 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. At the show, she has a chance to break Michael Jackson’s record for most wins.
Swift has won 23 AMAs and has five nominations this year; Michael Jackson holds the record for most wins with 24 trophies. Swift has won more awards at this show than anyone else during this decade.
In terms of pure commercial success, few artists have reached Swift’s level of ubiquity this decade.
She’s dropped five Platinum or multi-Platinum albums since 2010, with Speak Now, Red, 1989, reputation, and Lover.
She has four No. 1 hits to her name with “Bad Blood,” “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” plus another 15 Top 10 hits this decade.
Taylor Swift, Post Malone, Ariana Grande, Drake and Halsey are nominated for artist of the year.
The 2019 American Music Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m. ET.
