"The first time I ever saw my song on the Billboard charts, I was 16 and I was on a radio tour ... in a rental car, going to three or four different stations a day and homeschooling in the back seat," Taylor called upon accepting the award. "That seems like forever ago, thanks to so many people -- but mostly my family, everyone who's helped me get here and the fans. I just love you so much! I'm so humbled and honored."
Other country winners included Lady Antebellum for Top Country Group and Jason Aldean for Country Album of the Year (My Kinda Party) and Country Song of the Year ("Dirt Road Anthem"). Overall, Adele dominated the 2012 Billboard Music Awards with 12 wins. See the nominees and winners' list below, along with a gallery of some head-turning fashion at the show.
