Top of the board: Taylor Swift emerged as the top winner at the Teen Choice Awards tonight, scooping six gongs - seen here collecting the Ultimate Choice Award Country sensation Taylor Swift caught major waves at the Teen Choice awards last night, scooping up six surfboard trophies including one for Ultimate Teen Choice.
Swift, who soared to popularity in 2006 at age 16 with her self-titled debut album, won a total of six awards: choice female music artist, country female artist, female red carpet fashion icon, country single for 'Mean' and break-up song for 'Back to December.'
The 21-year-old crooner was also honoured for her contributions to entertainment with the Ultimate Choice Award, the show's version of a lifetime achievement award.
Leggy lovely: The country singer wore a short white dress for the event, posing here with one of her surfboard trophiesAccepting her Ultimate Teen Choice surfboard onstage, Swift thanked her fans and joked: 'It's been a long time since I was a teenager, like two years.'
She noted how teenagers often are teased by adults because they are 'intense'
or 'romantic,' but she encouraged kids in the audience and watching at home on the Fox TV network, saying: 'I think all those things are amazing things, and to all the teens watching, I hope you never lose those things.'
The Teen Choice Awards are an annual stop on Hollywood's award circuit and give actors, musicians and other artists who are popular with kids the chance to thank their fans.
On the crest of a wave: Taylor collects a gong from actress Emma StoneSelena Gomez, who performed her hit single I Love You Like a Love Song with her band The Scene, won five awards, including choice TV actress in a drama for her role in Wizards of Waverly Place.
She was also named choice 'hottie,' and The Scene scored the award for top band and for single of the year with their song Who Says.
The 19-year-old Gomez also saw her boyfriend, Justin Bieber, scoop up four surfboards. Despite arriving separately, the couple sat together at the ceremony and kissed, putting to bed rumours they had split.

Adding to his collection: Justin Bieber, 17, was named top male artist and earned an acting award for his recent work on television, seen with friend Sean Kingston onstageBieber picked up four surfboard-shaped trophies as choice male music artist, male hottie, twit and TV villain for his 'CSI' guest starring role.
But perhaps the most poignant honour was not a Teen Choice surfboard, but a special 'Inspire' trophy that went to Demi Lovato, an 18-year-old singer and actress who late last year pulled out of a concert tour to enter rehab for abuse issues.
Since then, Lovato has talked openly about her problems with eating disorders and cutting herself that she linked to being bullied at school when she was younger.

There were moments of seriousness amid the silliness. Sean Kingston made his first live televised appearance since recovering from injuries he suffered after crashing a watercraft into a Miami Beach bridge in May.
Other winners who picked up surfboard-shaped trophies included Cameron Diaz as choice movie comedy actress for 'Bad Teacher,' Ellen DeGeneres as choice comedian and Ashton Kutcher as choice romantic comedy movie actor for 'No Strings Attached.'
Goofing around: Ashton Kutcher, who won the Movie Actor award for his romcom No String Attached, started singing Katy Perry's Teenage Dream during his acceptance speech
Off, off, off! But Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie was no amused by the performance. Kutcher beat Fergie's man Josh Duhamel, who was also nominated in the category for Life As We Know ItBefore leading the crowd in a singalong of Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream,' Kutcher provided some topical advice.
'Don't ever charge anything on a credit card if you don't already have the money in the bank to pay for it,' he said.
The ceremony ended with a tribute to the 'Harry Potter' film franchise.
The final two instalments apparently bewitched online voters, winning such categories as choice sci-fi/fantasy movie, liplock, villain for Tom Felton and summer movie star for both Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, who accepted his surfboard via satellite from New York
