Taylor Swift\u00a0won three\u00a0American Music Awards\u00a0Sunday night, including the top \u201cfavorite artist\u201d honor \u2014 explaining her absence as due to being busy in the studio re-recording her entire Big Machine catalog.<\/p>\n

The climactic favorite artist award came as something as a surprise, since Swift\u2019s name had not come up as a winner any time earlier in the three hours, leading to an underlying assumption that she might have been shut out in some or all of the four categories she\u2019d been nominated in. But host\u00a0Taraji P. Henson\u00a0said after Swift\u2019s filmed acceptance that she had also won favorite pop\/rock female and favorite music video (for \u201cCardigan\u201d), awards that were presumably left off-camera because Swift had only submitted one speech, or to heighten the final element of surprise.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe reason I\u2019m not there tonight is I\u2019m actually recording all of my old music in the studio where we originally recorded it,\u201d Swift told the viewing audience. \u201cSo it\u2019s been amazing and I can\u2019t wait for you to hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This was not a surprise to fans, since Swift had declared that she was already at work on a re-do of the catalogue this past week, while she was releasing a statement confirming that her master recordings had been sold without her consent yet again, this time by Scooter Braun\u2019s Ithica Holdings to Shamrock Capital.<\/p>\n

But Swift seems very much to want to emphasize her current recording status to fans, and\/or to Shamrock and Braun.<\/p>\n\n

Earlier Sunday, Swift had posted to Twitter a black-and-white photo of herself relaxing on a couch with the message, \u201cNot a lot going on at the moment.\u201d Fans immediately knew this was one of the star\u2019s Easter egg moments, not an admission of laziness, since she\u2019d posted the identical ironic caption when she was secretly beginning the recording of \u201cFolklore,\u201d her latest release, back in the spring. This time, she definitely doesn\u2019t want to keep it a secret.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fan-voted award, which means so much to me,\u201d she said. \u201cYou guys have been beyond wonderful all the years of my career, but especially this one, when we\u2019ve been so far apart. .We haven\u2019t been able to see each other in concert, but I still feel really connected to you through the music,\u201d Swift said, citing \u201cyour reaction to \u2018Folklore\u2019 and all of the ways in which your imagination honored that album.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only one of her four nominations Swift missed out on a win for was favorite pop\/rock album, which went to Harry Styles for \u201cFine Line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

With these three trophies, Swift broke her own record for the highest number of AMA wins, upping her tally from 29 to 32. The previous record-holder was Michael Jackson, with 24.<\/p>\n

Other three-time winners were\u00a0The Weeknd\u00a0(favorite male soul R&B artist, favorite soul\/R&B song, favorite soul\/R&B song) and\u00a0Dan + Shay\u00a0(collaboration of the year, favorite country song, favorite duo or group).<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s big AMAs haul precedes by a day and a half the announcement of the nominations for the 2021 Grammys, where \u201cFolklore\u201d is expected to contend as well.<\/p>\n
