Taylor Swift Reigns Supreme at 2024 People’s Choice Awards, Scooping 4 Music Awards, Including Pop and Female Artist of the Year
The 2024 People’s Choice Awards, hosted by Simu Liu and broadcast live from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Sunday, February 18, celebrated the year’s outstanding achievements in film, television, music, and pop culture, with winners determined by fan voting. Despite her absence from the event, Taylor Swift added to her illustrious collection, dominating the awards ceremony.
Taylor Swift emerged victorious in multiple key categories at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, securing an impressive four out of five nominations. She claimed accolades for Social Celebrity of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Concert Tour of the Year. Although nominated for Movie of the Year, her concert film from the Eras Tour didn’t secure the win.
The reason behind Taylor Swift’s absence from the People’s Choice Awards was revealed during a segment honoring absent winners. She missed the ceremony due to her prior commitment to the Eras Tour, which kicked off in Melbourne, Australia on Friday, February 16, coinciding with the awards show.
With her latest wins, Taylor Swift solidified her status as the most awarded artist in People’s Choice Awards history. Prior to the 2024 ceremony, she had already amassed an impressive sixteen awards across various categories. Now, with four more additions, her tally stands at a remarkable 20 PCAs.
Swift’s Eras Tour, showcasing the highlights of her decade-long album career, has been a global phenomenon over the past year. Her dominance in the music industry was further underscored by Forbes’ recognition of her Eras Tour as the highest-earning summer concert tour in October 2023, grossing $305 million from 56 shows in the United States alone. Following her successful stint in Melbourne, Swift is set to captivate audiences in Sydney, with Sabrina Carpenter joining her as the opening act for the upcoming shows.
