Swift has the most AMA wins of all time, with 29, and she could break her own record if she wins in any of the four categories she's nominated in.

This year, the AMAs are also expanding their categories to reflect the rising popularity and crossover success of Latin, R&B, and hip-hop genres. The new categories include Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Female Artist (Rap/Hip-Hop); and Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Female, Favorite Album and Favorite Song (Latin).
