She's just been in the UK promoting her new album, so it's no surprise that Europe can't get enough of Taylor Swift.
The 22-year-old global superstar was the big winner at Sunday night's MTV Europe Music Awards in Frankfurt after picking up three awards, and Kanye West didn't say a word.
Wiping the floor with the competition, the Love Story singer made off with gongs for Best Female Act, Best Live Act and Best Look.

Even though Kanye was there to support girlfriend Kim Kardashian, he didn't invade the stage like he did when Taylor won an MTV award in 2009.
Not only did the star win three awards but she also wowed the audience with her energetic circus-inspired performance, dressed as a ringmaster.
Taylor was only matched in her success by teen pop sensation Justin Bieber who won Best Male Act, Best Pop Act and Best World Stage, although he couldn't be at the ceremony due to a concert in Brooklyn on Monday.
