Singer Taylor Swift and supermodel Heidi Klum brought golden glamour to the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night. Swift, 22, nabbed the award for favourite country music star for the fifth consecutive year.

Klum, 39, went for a revealing Alexandre Vauthier mini dress as she watched Ke$ha steal the show with a voodoo-inspired performance of new single Die Young. Nicki Minaj won best rap/hip hop artist while Christina Aguilera failed to impress on the red carpet in a flowing purple dress.
