And hey, because of you, last year I almost played Glastonbury, so.

Her BRIT Awards honor was a history-making distinction, with Swift becoming the first woman, first non-Brit, and youngest person ever to win the award.

She was also given the BRIT Awards' Global Icon Award on May 11. Tonight’s honors come after Swift won the Billboard Music Awards’ Top Female Artist and Top Billboard 200 Artist awards on Sunday.

Swift is also up for Female Artist of the Year, Best Lyrics (for “cardigan”), and Best Fan Army.
