Taylor Swift has broken yet another record. This time, the “Fortnight” singer made history at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMA) Thursday night by becoming the most-decorated BBMA winner with a total of 49 career trophies. She won a total of 10 awards at the event in categories including Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Hot 100 Songwriter, Top Streaming Songs Artist and Top Billboard 200. Swift and Drake were tied at 39 wins going into Thursday’s show. Drake took home three Billboard Awards, bringing his total up to 42 wins. In a pre-recorded speech, Swift thanked Billboard and her supporters for being the ones who “care about our albums and come see us in concert.” “Everything that’s happened with the Eras Tour and ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ I just have to say thank you. It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I’ve made and the fact that you’ve cared so much about my music,” she added.
