We’re looking back and remembering some of her most amazing moments.13 when Taylor performed at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and looked and sounded like an Angel — she was absolutely stunning! She performed with Fall Out Boy and then by herself, and it was extremely entertaining.

Another big moment of her year was on Nov. 26 when she headed to the Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace — and took the stage with Prince William  and Jon Bon Jovi. She even high fived the prince after the performance. While some thought it was too casual, we loved it and showed that she’s actually just like us!

She’s definitely got the awards to show for it — at the 2013 American Music Awards, she took home the awards for Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Favorite Country Female Artist. Her album, Red took home Favorite Country Album. Those are all huge honors as the AMAs are based completely on fan votes.
