Swift currently holds the record for the most Teen Choice Awards by a solo artist. She's won 25 awards and has been nominated over 60 times. This year alone, she's nominated in three categories, including Choice Female Artist and Choice Pop Song for her catchy "ME!" track off her upcoming Lover album.
In addition to the introduction of the new Icon Award, it sounds like this year's awards show will be filled with plenty of firsts! The show will be airing live from Hermosa Beach, California, for the first time in Teen Choice history. Fans can watch the two-hour event Sunday, Aug. 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
