Billie Eilish was this year’s big winner at the American Music Awards, nabbing all seven of the awards she was nominated for.
Despite not being in the room (Eilish is currently in Europe touring), the “Birds of a Feather” singer took home many of the night’s biggest awards, including artist of the year, album of the year, song of the year, favorite touring artist, favorite pop album and favorite pop song.
And Beyoncé
finally won for best country album, despite her earlier snub at the Country Music Association Awards and later the Academy of Country Music Awards. But the American Music Awards were a miss for Taylor Swift, no matter how hard fans tried to manifest a “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” announcement.
