Taylor Swift did pretty well at the Billboard Music Awards last night

  • May 20, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Taylor glassesTaylor Swift collected eight (!) Billboard Music Awards at last night's ceremony.

The 'Christmas Must Be Something More' chanteuse 'scooped' the following prizes (deep breath): Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200, Artist of the Year, Top Billboard 20 Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Country Artist and Top Digital Songs Artist.

Blimey.

Rihanna and Gotye were in joint second place if this were a race, with four 'gongs' each.

Meanwhile, Madonna, Nicki Minaj and One Direction won three each and Justin Bieber walked off with two.

The latter gave the following speech to remind everyone of why we should all take him seriously as an artiste: "I'm 19 years old, and I think I'm doing a pretty good job. It should be about the music, about the craft. This is not a gimmick. I should be taken seriously."

Here's the full list of winners.
