People's Choice Awards 2022: Taylor Swift wins big, Jungkook becomes first K-pop soloist winner, Lizzo named People's Champ
The fans have made their voices heard as the People's Choice Awards 2022 put the spotlight on fan-favorite movies, TV, music, and more.
This year's PCAs took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica and was hosted again by Kenan Thompson.
From the night, Taylor Swift emerged as the biggest winner, taking home three awards for People's female artist of 2022, music video of 2022 for Anti-Hero, and album of 2022 for Midnights.
K-pop group BTS bagged two awards for the group of 2022 and concert tour of 2022, while member Jungkook made history as the first K-pop soloist to win a PCA—he won collaboration song of 2022 for his featured role on Charlie Puth's Left and Right.
Meanwhile, Lizzo won song of 2022 for About Damn Time and also earned an honorary People's Champion Award.
"The trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people who are on stage with me, the stories that they shared, they're not that unique; they just don't get the platform," Lizzo said on stage. "Telling stories. Let's just tell more stories. When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me."
"If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I'd be like, 'You're gonna see that person but bitch, it's gonna have to be you."
Other celebs who took home two PCAs were Selena Gomez for comedy TV star of 2022 (Only Murders in the Building) and social celebrity of 2022, Olivia Olsen for female movie star of 2022 and action movie star of 2022 for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
The Doctor Strange sequel was also named movie of the year, while Stranger Things earned the title for show of the year.
Shania Twain and Ryan Reynolds also received special awards for Music Icon and People's Icon, respectively. Here's a full list of all the other winners from the night.
