Ready to break her own record? The 2022 American Music Awards are fast approaching, and Taylor Swift could win big.The “Anti-Hero” songstress already holds the record for most AMAs wins of all time and most Artist of the Year awards, but the 2022 ceremony could help her add to her ever-growing collection of accolades.

The Pennsylvania native is up for six prizes this year including Artist of the Year, Favorite Music Video and Favorite Pop Album.Swift’s newest album, however, is not the one under consideration at this year’s event.

Midnights was released on October 21, but the eligibility period ended on September 22. Instead, voters will be weighing in on Red (Taylor’s Version), which dropped in November 2021.In 2019, the prolific musician became the first woman to win the AMAs’ Artist of the Decade trophy, which was previously awarded to Garth Brooks in 2000 for his work in the 1990s.“The fact that this is an award that celebrates a decade of hard work and of art and of fun and memories, all that matters to me is the memories that I have had with you guys, with you the fans, over the years,” Swift said in her acceptance speech. “Guys, we’ve had fun, incredible, exhilarating, extraordinary times together, and may it continue.

Thank you for being the reason why I am on this stage, from the very first day of my career until tonight. I love you with all of my heart.”The 2022 ceremony’s other nominees include Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Harry Styles and Drake.
