It is believed far and wide that Taylor Swift has single-handedly built her billion-dollar empire, stone by stone, but even the empress knows she could not have done it alone. Every festive season that winds down comes with a Swift surprise, but with the Eras Tour’s heartbreaking closure this year, the next best bet has been her upcoming birthday. Just when Swifties thought they could hang up their detective hats after the Eras Tour’s final bow, Swift pulled off a festive coup, sweeping the Billboard Music Awards. 

With 10 consecutive wins, Swift just decked the halls with a Billboard Music Awards trophy shelf, leaving Swifties to put their hot cocoa on ice before her birthday.

Billboard may not have crowned Taylor Swift the greatest pop star of the 21st century, but Taylor Swift was resolute in dominating the turf on Thursday. Swift’s triumphant night at the Billboard Music Awards culminated in a record-breaking haul of 10 trophies, catapulting her career total to 49 wins, and solidifying her position as the most-awarded artist in BBMA history. Overwhelmed with the love and support, Swift sent out a video message, showering her fans with gratitude for the “nicest early birthday present” ever.

The ceremony was just before her birthday on December 13, making the celebration a true happy hour. In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Swift thanked Billboard for the prestigious honor but reserved her most sincere appreciation for the Swifties whose devoted streaming and purchasing efforts transformed the award into a testament to their unwavering support. Swift wore her heart on her sleeves for her fans who embraced the Eras Tour and her record-shattering ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ and sealed the deal with a romantic kiss on the trophy.
