List of awards and nominations received by Taylor Swift


American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has received many awards and nominations for her music work. Swift signed a record deal with Big Machine Records in 2005 and released her self-titled debut studio album in 2006, which was nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award. At the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, she earned a Best New Artist nomination. Her second studio album Fearless produced five singles, including "Love Story", "White Horse", and the MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video-winning song "You Belong with Me". Swift was subsequently nominated for eight categories at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards and won four of them, including Album of the Year. At the age of twenty, she became the youngest recipient of the award, a record she held for eleven years before being surpassed by Billie Eilish in 2020. She is still the youngest woman ever to win the Album of the Year category twice. Fearless became the first album to win the American Music Country Award, Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music Award, and Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
Swift was awarded the American Music Award for Artist of the Year in 2009. She was listed as one of 100 most influential people by Time magazine the following year and later in 2015 and 2019. Her third studio album Speak Now won Favorite Country Album at the American Music Awards of 2011, and holds the record for Fastest Selling Digital Album by a Female Artist in Guinness World Records. Its single "Mean" won two Grammy Awards. In late 2011, Swift contributed two original songs to, including "Safe & Sound", which was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Her fourth studio album Red was nominated for the Juno Award and Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
In 2014, Swift won Billboard Woman of the Year for the second time after being honored in 2011. Her 2014 studio album—the pop-focused 1989—earned her three awards at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, including her second Album of the Year win, making her the first woman to win the award twice. She was also nominated at the ceremony for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, categories she was previously nominated in for "You Belong with Me" and "Shake It Off". In 2015, the IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year Award presented her the Global Recording Artist award, and the Billboard Music Awards declared her the recipient of eight accolades. At the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, Swift won four awards, including Video of the Year for "Bad Blood". At the 64th BMI Pop Awards, Swift was honored with the Taylor Swift Award, becoming the second artist after Michael Jackson to be honored by such an award which has been named after the recipient of the award by BMI.
At the American Music Awards of 2018, Swift won Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Album for her sixth studio album Reputation, and Tour of the Year for Reputation Stadium Tour. With a total of 23 awards, she became the most-awarded female artist in AMA history, a record previously held by Whitney Houston. At the 2019 ceremony, she won all five categories she was nominated for, extending her record for most Artist of the Year wins, and in addition became the first woman to be awarded Artist of the Decade. With 29 wins, she became the most awarded artist in AMAs history, surpassing Michael Jackson's record of 24 wins. Swift previously held the record for most Billboard Music Awards wins, until exceeded by Canadian rapper Drake in 2019. She currently holds records for most Billboard Music Award wins for a female artist and most Teen Choice Awards wins for a solo artist. The songs "Me!" and "You Need to Calm Down" from her seventh studio album Lover received a record twelve nominations at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards and won three, including Video of the Year for the latter. She received Billboard first-ever Woman of the Decade award at its Women in Music ceremony in December 2019.
