Taylor Swift celebrated the eve of her 35th birthday by making history at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), becoming the most decorated artist of all time.
Going into the Thursday night broadcast, the "Bejeweled" singer was tied with Drake at 39 career wins each. The odds were in her favor with 17 nominations in 16 categories.
"This is like the nicest, early birthday present you could have given me so thank you very much," Swift said after the announcement in a video before kissing one of the golden microphones she won.
The singer-songwriter walked away with 10 BBMAs for her work in 2024 including:
