BTS wins multiple fan-voted honors at the 52nd American Music Awards, taking home “Song of the Summer” for their lead single “SWIM.” The song is from the group’s fifth studio album, “ARIRANG,” and is recognized at the ceremony held in Las Vegas, according to several outlets. Korea Times and others report that “SWIM” is selected from ten competing songs, with “SWIM” beating other nominees including Taylor Swift’s “Elizabeth Taylor.” In addition to “Song of the Summer,” BTS also receives “Artiste of the Year,” with Globe and Mail describing the group as winning Artist of the Year for a second time and also mentioning other related awards. Several reports tie the wins to BTS’s recent return as a full group after all seven members complete their military service earlier this year. RM accepts the award and thanks fans for their support, while also reflecting on the pressure BTS faced preparing its first album together in nearly four years. Overall, sources agree that “SWIM” drives the group’s major recognition at the AMAs.
