Washington, Nov 21 (ANI): Taylor Swift and Adele dominated the 2011 American Music Awards on Sunday with three trophies each.
The 'Fearless' singer ruled the country music categories, taking home the 'Favourite Female Artist' accolade and 'Favourite Album' for Speak Now, as well as the coveted 'Artist of the Year' honour.
"I wrote this album while I was on the Fearless tour and so I ended up writing lots of these songs at four in the morning in hotel rooms... And the fact that you would honour it in this way, you just have no idea what this means to me...," Contactmusic quoted her as telling the audience while she accepted her award.
"I want to thank all the fans for remembering the lyrics and for caring about lyrics, I'm just so thankful and I'm so happy," she added.
British soul singer Adele, who could not attend the ceremony as she is recovering from vocal surgery, was awarded with 'Favourite Adult Contemporary Artist', 'Favourite Pop/Rock Artist'. Adele's record 21 was also the top pop/rock album.
While Nicki Minaj picked up two trophies, Rihanna, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez each scored one.
Katy Perry also took home a special achievement prize for becoming the first woman in the history of pop music to have five number one singles from one album. (ANI)
