Taylor Swift is reaching out to her fans after recently being named Favorite Country Female Artist at the American Music Awards!

The 18-year-old singer writes on her MySpace blog: "There's nothing like a fan-voted award. They mean so much to me. When I heard my name called, I was thinking to myself 'I can't believe they did this for me. I can't believe it!'"

"I've always wanted an American Music Award, and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have you out there doing these things for me. I'm so thankful for you, and your huge signs you make and hold up at my concerts," Taylor tells her fans.

"I'm thankful that, even when it's raining, I've got people to count on," said Taylor, who is coming off a highly publicized breakup with teen pop idol Joe Jonas. Earlier this month, Taylor's second album Fearless debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart and sold more than a half million copies its first week in stores.
