Taylor Swift Wins 10 Billboard Music Awards

In a statement, Swift thanked her fans for being the most-awarded female artist of the night - going home with 10 awards.

"Well this is unreal... the fact that you guys have given me 10 Billboard Awards -- I'm talking to the fans specifically," Swift said in her acceptance speech that was filmed backstage. "None of this happens without you. The Billboards base everything off of what you are listening to and what you're passionate about, and I'm so honored that this year you made The Eras Tour so magical. You went and saw the movie, you cared about my re-recordings. I just love you so much."

Notably, Swift went home with ten Billboard Music Awards.

She won Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Songwriter, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Billboard Global 200 Artist, Top Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.) Artist, Top Selling Song for "Anti-Hero" , and Top Country Female Artist.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Swift was second only to Morgan Wallen's record-breaking 11 wins that night. Nevertheless, this puts Taylor Swift as the most-awarded artist and most-awarded female artist of all time in Billboard Music Awards history with 39 trophies on her shelf. She shares the count with Drake who is the most-awarded male artist of all time.

After being rushed to the hospital, she passed away after a second heart arrest. Swift thanked everyone for coming out to support her despite the record-breaking heat and rain earlier in the performance.

Swift was forced to postpone Saturday's gig due to extreme heat.

According to reports, fans were not permitted to carry water into the much-anticipated concert because of the intense heat. After the death and the backlash, changes were made to the venue.
