Taylor Swift was the talk of the prestigious event after taking home a whopping 5 awards including the coveted title of Favorite Artist. The 19-year-old talent beat out the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, for the big award of the night. Accepting her awards via satellite from Wembley Stadium in London, the blonde beauty thanked her fans and her family.

Taylor was the big winner of the night when it came to the actual awards but her friend Carrie Underwood dominated when it comes to the best performance of the night. We realize that we’re putting Carrie above JLo (who fell onstage), Whitney Houston and the controversial performance by Adam Lambert (which we think was a desperate plea for attention) but we honestly didn’t like any of the performances. The only woman who rivalled Carrie’s performance was Miss Rihanna but even her performance was a little weird for us.

Whatever happened to singing on stage and looking pretty? Too many artists (like Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert) are trying too hard to stand out. Their performances reek of desperation. Sometimes, if you have real talent, you don’t have to try so hard to get noticed. We’re just sayin…

What did you think of last night’s American Music Awards?

While Rihanna’s rocky relationship with Chris Brown seems like old news, the 21-year-old singer opened up for the first time in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer. After telling her story to the world and finding closure in the tragic situation, perhaps now is the time for Rihanna to give love another chance.

Rihanna and Tristan (who plays Dixon on the hit show 90210) were photographed together in 2008 at Chris Brown’s birthday party but RiRi was in a relationship with Brown at the time.

This weekend, Rihanna hosted a party that Wilds attended and the two made it very obvious that there was more to their relationship than just friends.

“No one knew why Tristan was there initially because it was not an industry party but everyone quickly realized they weren’t meeting for the first time,” a witness told New York Daily News. “Rihanna lit up when Tristan walked in the room.”

Many think it’s too early for Rihanna to date again but we honestly think that the sooner she moves on, the sooner this whole situation can be behind her. Besides, as long as she doesn’t go back with Chris Brown, she’s taking a step in the right direction.

The good girl gone bad was hoping for a hit but, according to readers on PerezHilton.com, the majority of music fans say they don’t like her new single Russian Roulette.

The ballad is a lot slower than most of Rihanna’s latest hits (like Umbrella and Disturbia) but it seems like fans want the 20-year-old star to stick to the upbeat, attitude-filled songs that make club-goers want to hit the dance floor.

Recently, Rihanna has been making more headlines for her bold fashion choices than she has her music. Unfortunately, we’d have to say she scores high when it comes to style but is below par with her new single.
