i think that Taylor is cool but Lil' Wayne, that is 11 years in ShowBiz. And Katty Perry deserves it better

What? Taylor is okay (can't really sing that well), but come one ... Katy Perry is waaaaaay more talented. AMA surely got this one wrong.

What's sad is I see a lot of people on the Internet saying Taylor was fake. That she just acted surprised. Is that sad or what? I say she was surprised. I don't care how good of an actor you are, you can't fake how surprised she was. She went up against some other big singers. I'm sure she figured she wouldn't get that award. I guess some people are just going o hate though.

I am happy that Taylor Swift. But it would have been better if Lil Wayne would have won. Out of the nominees Lil Wayne is the only Male Artist. This proves how great Lil Wayne is. His Carter IV is the perfect example. Its on No. 5 - Billboard

really,maybe she can write,maybe even had performance,but can not SING,where the music is going,if she can beat ADELE, and other great singers. Be realistic, she got the many qualities, but singing is not one of them. Look to Carrie,even she wasnt in this year category, or other singers that are, how can you say that she deserves the award. sorry,but listen to music,the voice of the song, I really dont believe in this anymore. I dont like lady Gaga,really dont,but most agree,that all other nominess have a voice,only taylor not. When does she get a standing ovations,buy the industry and fans???

All the nominees are talented, I would of loved if Adele won but I'll take Taylor Swift. She is a good role model for many young girls who listen to her music. She doesn't have to be outrageous, shake her booty or use strong lyrics to get her messages across. We need more like her !

To those who think Taylor Swift doesn't deserve this award, here's what Katy Perry tweeted: "congrats girl. U wrote every single NOTE & LYRIC for Speak Now. That is not an easy feat. You deserve every bit of tonight."

Taylor did an amazing job with Speak Now and her tour so the award was given to the right person. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted Adele to win this, but other than her, Taylor was the right person to receive the award.
