During her acceptance speech, Swift said, “I wanted to say to the fans, I had an album come out recently called Midnights, and I’m so blown away, you have no idea how much it means to me to even get to do this as a career.”

She continued, “So I just wanted to say personally from me to you, the fact that you have done what you’ve done, supporting that album, being excited about that album, and loving it and there’s not a single moment I take that for granted. I love you so much, I can’t believe I get to do this as a job. It’s all because of you. Thank you so, so much.”

Elsewhere in the ceremony, Nicki Minaj won Best Hip Hop and Best Song for “Super Freaky Girl” and Harry Styles was feted for his sprawling Love on Tour with the Best Live award. K-pop artists Lisa, Seventeen, BTS and Blackpink were also among the top winners of the night.
