Taylor Swift was nominated in several categories like Top Artist, the fan-voted Billboard Chart Achievement Award, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, and Top Billboard 200 Album. She could have easily made history if she won an award in multiple categories.
If Taylor won Top Female Artist or Top Billboard 200 Artist, it would’ve been for a record-setting fourth time. Billie Eilish won Top Female Artist and Lizzo won Top Song Sales Artist.
