Taylor Swift has won the prestigious Woman Of The Year award at the ELLE Style Awards 2015.

Fellow singer and close friend Sam Smith was on hand to present the Style hitmaker with her much-deserved gong on Tuesday night.

The award tops off an incredible 12 months for 25-year-old Swift, who released her fifth studio album 1989 to critical acclaim last October. She also became the first artist ever to release three albums that sold over 1,000,000 copies in their first week, breaking the world record.

Since kick-starting her career over a decade ago, Taylor has been responsible for some of our favourite songs – and in the process has also cemented herself as something of a style icon, too, seamlessly switching between chic street style and glamorous couture gowns on the red carpet.
