Taylor Swift was the top winner at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, which was broadcast on Fox on Thursday (Dec. 12). Swift’s 10 new trophies bring her career win total to 49, which is more than any other artist in BBMA history. She had been tied for that distinction with Drake, with 39 wins each.

This is the second year in a row that Swift has won 10 BBMAs. 2023 and 2024 are her two years with the most wins. Before these two years, her personal best was eight wins, in both 2013 and 2015. Swift collected her first three BBMAs in 2011.
Swift won Top Artist for the record-setting fourth time, having previously won in 2013, 2015 and 2023. She is the first four-time winner in this category, breaking out of a tie with Drake at three wins each. Moreover, she’s the first artist to win back-to-back awards in this category since Destiny’s Child in 2000 and 2001.
Swift won Top Female Artist for the record-extending sixth time, having previously won in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2021 and 2023. She has won in three of the last four years, missing out in this period only in 2022, when Olivia Rodrigo won.

Teddy Swims took home two new pieces of hardware at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards presented by Marriott Bonvoy, winning Top Hot 100 Song and Top Radio Song for “Lose Control” — which he also performed — at the ceremony on Thursday (Dec. 12).
Standing on the performance stage with his band, surrounded by a group of passionate fans, the 32-year-old singer-songwriter accepted both prizes at the same time. “Two is absolutely bonkers, man. I’m so grateful,” Swims began, holding one BBMA in each hand. “Thank you for changing my life, everyone who’s listening. Thank you for letting me do the best job in the world with the best team in the world.”
“I love you, mama,” added the Georgia native. “Thank you for letting a fat kid from Conyers win.”
“Lose Control” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, seven months after the track first debuted on the chart. Swims has since lodged three more entries on the chart: “The Door,” “Bad Dreams” and “Dirty” with Jessie Murph.
Swims also performed his slinking ballad on the BBMAs stage, letting his signature rasp shine through on the belted chorus and, at one point, ceding the spotlight to his guitarist for a soulful solo. “I lose control/ When you’re not next to me/ I’m falling apart right in front of you, can’t you see?” sang the musician, dressed in a leather biker jacket and silver chain, sunglasses hanging off his forehead. Earlier during the BBMAs, Swims sang an emotive live version of “Bad Dreams.”
The star is a finalist for a total of eight awards at this year’s BBMAs. In addition to Top Hot 100 Song and Top Radio Song, Swims is also up for Top New Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Streaming Song, Top Selling Song and more.
Hosted by Michelle Buteau, the 2024 BBMAs is airing on FOX and Fire TV Channels and on-demand on Paramount+. Performances are available to watch back as they’re uploaded on Billboard.com and via @BBMAs and @Billboard social channels.
