It was all about the fans at the 2015 People's Choice Awards Wednesday night, and the fans really, really love Taylor Swift. The country-gone-pop star took home Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Pop Artist and Favorite Song for "Shake It Off." Her former tourmate Ed Sheeran won Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Album for X.
In the country categories, Hunter Hayes was the upset victor for Favorite Male Country Artist, beating hitmaking heavyweights Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan and Tim McGraw. "That's quite the category, and I don't know what I'm doing with this," the multi-instrumentalist humbly said upon accepting the award. "I'm so blessed to get to do what I love, and you guys give us the chance to get to do what we do. I have unbelievable parents who believed in my obsession with music, and I have a fantastic team around me, fantastic friends… and the best fans in the world."
Lady Antebellum stake claim to Favorite Country Group, for which they thanked family, fans — and famous fan, Ellen DeGeneres. The trio also delivered their high-energy "Freestyle" on the show. (Watch the performance below.)
Carrie Underwood has her seventh career People's Choice trophy with her win for Favorite Female Country Artist, topping the category that also included Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, Lucy Hale and Miranda Lambert.
