LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9 -- Pop singer Taylor Swift won big by nabbing four honors at the 2018 American Music Awards (AMAs) ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

Swift, who kicked off the show with a performance of "I Did Something Bad," took home awards for Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Album, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Favorite Tour of the Year. She has so far won 23 AMAs awards, breaking the previous record of 21 wins for a female artist, held by the late American singer Whitney Houston.

"Thank you for this incredible symbol of encouragement," she said while accepting her award for Artist of the Year, the biggest prize of the night, noting that every single award given out at the ceremony were voted on by the people.

The superstar called for live and television audiences to head to the polls in the upcoming midterm elections on November 6.

"You know what else is voted on by the people," she added, "Get out and vote!"

Unlike the Grammys, which are awarded on the basis of votes by members of the Recording Academy, the winners of AMAs are determined by a poll of the public and viewers.

The nominees of the awards are based on key fan interactions as reflected in Billboard Magazine and on Billboard.com, including album and digital song sales, radio airplay, streaming, social activity and touring. These measurements are tracked by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound.
