 "To say Taylor Swift had a remarkable year would be a comic understatement," wrote Billboard's editors in announcing the honour.


"She set seemingly every chart record that exists. But most important, she proved herself a graceful, timeless celebrity, handling hosting duties on Saturday Night Live and a rampaging Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards with equal aplomb."
