Drake may have "started from the bottom," but now he's definitely sitting pretty and pleased at the top. The Canadian rapper took home a remarkable 12 trophies at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards [1] on Wednesday night, officially bringing his career total to 27. The wins have crowned him the most awarded artist in the ceremony's history, dethroning Taylor Swift [2] and her 23 career wins.

The 32-year-old rapper scored some of the show's most prestigious wins, including awards for top artist, top rap artist, and top rap album for his hit album, Scorpion [3]. The winning album included smash singles like "I'm Upset [4]" (with that epic Degrassi reunion [5] music video) and "In My Feelings [6]," which the rapper won top streaming song (video) for.

When the diehard Game of Thrones [7] fan went on stage to claim his top Billboard 200 album win, he ended his speech with a shout-out to Maisie Williams's Arya Stark [8], for "putting in that work [9]" during "The Long Night" episode of the HBO series. No word on whether the fan-favorite character is now doomed to suffer from the "Drake curse." [10]

Swift, the former title award holder for most Billboards, was nominated for two awards herself, including top female artist and top touring artist. She left the award show empty-handed, but did take the stage for a colorful opening performance [11] of her new single, "Me!," with Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie. Host Kelly Clarkson [12], Mariah Carey [13], and Paula Abdul [14] also put on amazing performances during Wednesday night's show, making it truly one amazing night for music.
