Gossip Teen

She may have won the American Music Award for favorite female country artist, but that doesn’t mean Taylor Swift can’t get down with some rock ‘n’ roll!

Swift teamed up with pop/rock legend, Johnny Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls Monday night, during her first of two shows at Madison Square Garden to perform Rzeznik’s hit Iris, which Swift calls, “one of the greatest songs of all time.”

The duo sounded pretty good together, and it probably didn’t hurt things that they had every parent in the place singing along with them.

She’s done it again, ladies and gentlemen!

At the American Music Awards last night, country artist Taylor Swift went home with several more AMA statuettes for her collection, but this time she took home the pièce de résistance – the AMA for Artist of the Year!

The 21-year-old singer was also crowned Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album, as only teenaged girls were allowed to cast ballots in this years voting for the AMAs.  ;)

From the podium, Swift thanked her fans, family and “the little sister she never had”, Selena Gomez.  Insert “awww” or “uuugh”

Now, I get that Taylor’s a country icon and all, but with the breakout year that Adele has had (not to mention her vastly superior vocal talent), wouldn’t she be the more appropriate choice for Artist of the Year?

Did the AMAs get it right?  Who do you think should’ve taken home the title of Artist of the Year?
