Teen Choice Awards 2019 held in California

Taylor Swift received the first Icon award at the Teen Choice Awards in Hermosa Beach, California.

Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers are among the winners at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, which were held in Hermosa Beach, California.



The 29-year-old was introduced to the stage by Alex Morgan, who won the World Cup with the US women's football team in July.

Swift backed the team in their campaign for equal pay with the men's side and told fans: "Please, please, please support her and her teammates because this isn't over yet. It's not resolved."

She told viewers to "get online" and discuss the issue, adding: "Let people know how you feel about it because what happened to them is unfair. It's happening everywhere and they are heroes and icons for standing up."

Swift also told fans to "stand up for yourself", days after Kid Rock was widely condemned for a "sexist tweet" claiming the pop star was only supporting left-leaning causes to further her career in Hollywood.






Kevin, 31, and Nick, 26, said they were both bullied in school for traits that would later make them famous and told fans on Hermosa Beach to "embrace those things" that make you special.
