Taylor Swift got a special present on the eve of her 35th birthday: the record for the most Billboard Music Award wins ever.

The "Fortnight" singer didn't attend the show, but shared in a video message, "Thank you to the fans, because Billboard is counting your stuff. They're counting what you listen to, the albums that you're passionate about. I count these as fan-voted awards, because you guys are the ones who care about our albums and come see us in concert. Everything that's happened with the Eras Tour and 'The Tortured Poets Department,' I just have to say thank you."
"It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I've made, and the fact that you've cared so much about my music," she continued. "This is, like, the nicest early birthday present you could have given me. So, thank you very much. I love it. It's exactly what I wanted."
Other winners included Zach Bryan with five wins, Morgan Wallen with four and Shaboozey with three. Also taking home three wins: Elevation Worship, Bad Bunny and Drake, who now has 42 career wins in total, second only to Swift.
