Taylor Swift makes history at AMAs, wins fan-voted artist of the year amid Eras Tour ticket fiasco

Taylor Swift made history at the American Music Awards Sunday, becoming the first artist to earn 40 wins at the 50th annual show.

The "Anti-Hero" singer took home six awards from six nominations, including favorite female pop artist, favorite pop album and favorite female country artist.

"You know, in the past few years, I have released more music than I did in the entire decade proceeding that, and I really feel like that's down to the fact that you, the fans, wanted to hear lots of music that I would make," she said while accepting the award for artist of the year. "You encourage me."

Swift extended her run as the artist with the most American Music Awards, with Michael Jackson following in second place with 26 wins and Whitney Houston with 22 trophies to her name.

"I have the fans to thank essentially for my happiness," Swift shared. "I love you more than I can say. I cannot express how unbelievable it is to me that I get to do this and that you still care."

She added, "Thank you underlined with 13 exclamation points… I love you."

Swift decided not to walk the red carpet at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, likely due to the massive backlash from the Ticketmaster fiasco that ensued days before.

Millions of fans were left out in the cold when it came to acquiring coveted tickets to her upcoming "The Eras Tour" after Ticketmaster sold out of concert tickets during pre-sales, and forced the retailer to cancel the public sale. The site later admitted more than two million tickets were purchased, claiming they had "the most tickets ever sold for an artist in a single day." 

"We want to apologize to Taylor and all of her fans - especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets. We feel we owe it to everyone to share some information to help explain what happened," Ticketmaster later posted on Twitter.

Bengals hold off Steelers; Joe Burrow finds Samaje Perine for three touchdowns

Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes, three to backup running back Samaje Perine, and the Cincinnati Bengals rallied past the Pittsburgh Steelers, 37-30, on Sunday.

The Bengals (6-4) won for the fourth time in five games by relying heavily on Perine, who thrived with starter Joe Mixon missing the second half after going into the NFL's concussion protocol.

Burrow completed 24 of 39 passes for 355 yards on the day he became the third-fastest player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career yards passing. Perine ran for 30 yards and caught four passes for 52 yards, racing into the end zone three times while the defenders in charge of covering him gave chase in vain.

Pittsburgh (3-7) saw its chance of repeating the Week 1 upset it pulled off in Cincinnati in September vanish in the second half as a 20-17 lead slipped away. Rookie Kenny Pickett passed for 265 yards and a touchdown and Najee Harris ran for 90 yards and two scores, but the NFL's second-lowest scoring offense sputtered for most of the second half.

Burrow spent the first half picking apart the Steelers underneath. Pittsburgh adjusted by having its defensive front throw its hands up to tip passes or disrupt Burrow's timing. It worked occasionally, with Levi Wallace intercepting a pass on a deflection and T.J. Watt making an otherworldly snare in the third quarter.

The Bengals countered by having Burrow start looking deep, connecting with Tyler Boyd and practice squad call-up Tyler Irwin for long gains during an eight-play, 93-yard drive in the fourth quarter that ended with Perine dragging Wallace across the goal line for a 6-yard score that made it 34-23 with 4:35 remaining.

Cincinnati has won four of five against the Steelers. The Bengals had dropped 14 of their previous 15 against their longtime AFC North nemesis.

All but one of those losses came before Burrow arrived. His combination of poise, accuracy and swagger has lifted the fortunes of a franchise and shifted the balance of power in a rivalry Pittsburgh has dominated for long stretches.

Burrow didn't get there without enduring some growing pains as a rookie in 2020. Pickett finds himself in the same spot after being handed the keys to the offense in the middle of Week 3.

While the Steelers showed progress during a back-and-forth first half — Pittsburgh's 20 points matched the most points it had scored in regulation this season — the momentum stalled in the second half.

Four of the Steelers' first five possessions after halftime ended with a punt, giving Burrow all the space he needed to effectively end any slim outside chance Pittsburgh had in being a factor in the division race down the stretch.
