When the American Music Awards nominations were announced today, it was Taylor Swift who walked away with the most.

The budding country star and best-selling artist of 2008 led the pack with six, followed closely by the late Michael Jackson, who posthumously earned five nods.

The two stars will go head to head for the highly coveted Artist of the Year award, along with fellow nominees Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon and Eminem, who all earned three nominations each. Beyonce and T.I. were also triple nominees.

The good news for Taylor Swift is that Kanye West was shut out, meaning he likely won’t be there to interrupt another one of her acceptance speeches.

The American Music Awards will air on ABC at 8 pm ET on November 22nd.
