Isn't it weird though that someone would win Video of the Year but not Female Video?
If you have the best video out of all the videos that year, surely you have the best female video.
This case has happened at every award show. I've seen these cases at the Grammys.
Britney was also nominated for Video of the Year. She won Pop Video, while Beyonce won Video of the Year. They were both up for the same categories. Weird.
Were people really surprised Taylor won AOTY? All signs pointed to her... the best sales and reviews out of the bunch, one of the most nominated artists and the Kanye incident added some fuel to that engine. Her AOTY win was so predictable. She has won some undeserving awards, but considering her competition there, I can't really dispute her win. None of those albums were truly great, tbh.

I was genuinely surprised.
All stanning aside, my money was on Gaga. She made a huge impact in '09.

I don't know many pundits who were predicting a GaGa win. Most pundits were predicting Taylor. The other prognostications were split between Dave Matthews and Beyonce.

Of course it was surprising. Did you see the other people nominated in that category? Taylor only won that award because she plays it safe and because award shows were taking pity on her due to the Kanye incident.
Outside of selling records Taylor has nothing. Her live performances/vocals aren't anything to brag about nor are her songs that memorable. She didn't deserve that award.

The only thing pundits were predicting was "dance" for Gaga. The Grammys went exactly as predicted.

The Grammys have always favored albums of the country, adult contemporary, rock genres. Taylor fuses them so it wasn't totally surprising. (Gaga and DMB seemed more likely to win though.)
