Taylor didn't win at the BBC Music Awards. Pharrell won International Artist of the Year! Happy is the only song to go Triple Platinum this decade in the UK, so fair enough.
1989 was the Best Album of 2014 in Billboard's Top 10 albums of the Year list.

Abandoning your tried-and-true genre for the one with the shortest memory of success? Not a problem for Taylor Swift, who set country music aside on 1989 and proceeded to conquer the pop world with effortless hooks and an overabundance of charisma. What makes 1989 so special in Swift’s ever-impressive discography is its mastery of music that the biggest artist had left untouched on her first four albums; Swift doesn’t just stuff “Shake It Off” with horn riffs, she makes sure that the horn riffs are immaculate so that she can successfully shrug off the haters. Many artists have attempted the sea change that Swift accomplished on 1989, but few have rendered that vision as successfully.
