The winners at the American Music Awards - and a bonus white horse
Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and a mechanised white horse - it was the American music industry at its best
)
Taylor Swift can't be blamed for the smug expression on her face - the singer/songwriter is cradling her four - count em, four - AMA awards - artist of the year, favorite country artist - female, favorite country album for "Red" and favorite female pop/rock. Breaking up with a lot of guys has never looked so good.
Lady Gaga, please stop. You are out of ideas now. You cannot just ride in on a mechanised white horse and be hailed as a trail blazer. Also, there are two people under that horse wearing some truly unfortunate lavender-coloured tights.
Here Rihanna poses with her Icon award, and not even her helmet-style hairdo can detract from how beautiful she is.
This is Tyler Hubbard (L) and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line, and they are posing with hip hop artist Nelly. The one on the right is brazenly ripping off Miley Cyrus.
Musician Justin Timberlake poses backstage with his awards for favorite male artist - pop/rock, favorite album - soul/R&B - and much like Taylor Swift, his facial expression screams self-confidence.
