In 2019, Swift released the album Lover, which she produced with Antonoff, Louis Bell, Frank Dukes, and Joel Little. Lover peaked atop the charts of countries such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and the US. The album spawned five singles: 'Me!', 'You Need to Calm Down', 'Lover', 'The Man', and 'Cruel Summer'. The first two singles peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and the lattermost single became a resurgent success in 2023, reaching number one. Lover was 2019's best selling album in the US and best selling album by a solo artist worldwide. The album and its singles earned three nominations at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2020. At the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, Swift won three awards including Video of the Year for 'You Need to Calm Down', becoming the first female and second artist overall to win the category for a self-directed video. At the American Music Awards of 2019, she was named Artist of the Decade.
