Move over GaGa – Taylor Swift leads 2009 AMA noms

SIX AMA nominations??? What????!!! PARTY!!!!!” was all Taylor Swift, 19, could tweet after learning she leads this year’s American Music Awards nominations.

The nominees were announced by Paula Abdul, Adam Lambert and Snoop Dogg at the Beverly Hills Hotel yesterday. The glam ceremony will be held on November 22, 2009 at Nokia Theater, LA.

Taylor stands all chances to win Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Album in Pop/Rock and Country Music, Favorite Artist in Adult Contemporary Music, and the main honor of the night, Artist of the Year.

Swift is followed by Michael Jackson and Eminem with five and four noms, respectively.

And though it might sound unusual, Lady GaGa has only secured three noms. Still, congrats Lady!

As it’s been revealed, the recipients are picked up based on “the data supplied by the Nielsen Company’s Broadcast Data Systems, which monitors radio airplay performance, and SoundScan, which tracks retail music sales.”
