The article published on the website http://www.guardian.co.uk on May 20, 2013 is headlined "Taylor Swift wins eight Billboard awards. Justin Bieber, Gotye and Rihanna among the other big winners at music industry ceremony in Las Vegas". The article carries a lot of comment on the victory of Taylor Swift. A data journalist, James Ball,the author of the article pays tribute to Taylor Swift who was the big winner at the Billboard music awards, scooping eight out of her 11 nominations, including top artist and top Billboard 200 album for Red.
Speaking of Taylor Swift it is necessary to note that Swift gave a colourful performance of her hit 22, starting backstage and working her way to the main stage on the back of a bike with help from a dozen background dancers and a flurry of red balloons. Whereas Justin Bieber, who performed twice, won three awards, including top male artist, social artist and the fan-voted milestone award.
It also was mentioned that other nominees win at Billboard Music Awards. Among them, Miguel who had a show-stopping performance, Maroon 5 and fun. were nominated for 11 awards and walked away with one win each in pre-telecast announcements. Gotye and Rihanna had the second-most wins with four awards each.Nicki Minaj, who won the first award in the live telecast for top rap artist, beating out Drake, Flo Rida, Pitbull and Psy. "I definitely did not expect this one," she said.
The article concludes by saying that Taylor Swift was honored as Woman of the Year at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards! Swift was honored as Top Artist, Top Female Artist and Top Billboard 200 artist in ceremonies held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where awards were handed out in 45 categories, 10 of them on the ABC telecast. Swift received the night's top honor, Artist of the Year, as well as Top Billboard 20 Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Country Artist and Top Digital Songs Artist.
