Gloriana Celebrates HUGE Win At AMAs

Hot new country group Gloriana, whose album is already the best selling country debut of 2009, won the fan-voted T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist Award at last night’sAmerican Music Awards. The T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist Award was the only award where fans could text in their votes and continue to vote during the show. The group walked away with the award, beating out Lady GaGa, Keri Hilson, and Kid Cudi.

The first call the band received immediately following their win was from Taylor Swift from London to say, “I always believed in you guys and always knew you could do it.” Adding with a laugh “But didn’t actually think you’d do it!!!”

“We cannot even put into words right now how thankful we are to the fans who voted for us and to everyone who has made the last couple of months an absolute dream come true,” said Cheyenne Kimball. “This is still a bit surreal for us,” added Tom Gossin. “It’s such an honor to win an American Music Award, especially since it is voted on by fans and we are so grateful to have amazing fans.”

Gloriana will hit the road again next year on Taylor’s Fearless 2010 Tour.
