Taylor wins Dick Clark Award for Excellence at the 2014 AMAs Taylor Swift certainly deserved the Dick Clark Award for Excellence presented for the very first time by the legendary Diva Diana Ross at last nights American Music Awards in LA. “When I was really young, when I first started in the industry, it was Dick Clark who made is possible for us to be on radio and TV,” Diana said. Swift gushed about Ross, calling her a woman who “stood up for herself in a time when it was not popular for a woman to stand up for herself.” In accepting the inaugural award, Swift gave shout outs to her fans, referencing her album listening parties, interacting with them via social media, and how flattered she was that they wanted a glimpse into her life. What you did by going out and investing in music and albums is you are saying that you believe in the same thing that I believe in: that music is valuable and music should be consumed in albums and albums should be consumed as art and appreciated, she said, furthering her anti-Spotify agenda. Of course, it wasn’t the 2014 AMAs’ first taste of Taylor. She opened the evening with the first-ever performance of “Blank Space,” which currently leads the Billboard Hot 100.Girl Power!
