TODAY’S American Music Awards played host to some of the biggest names in music: Taylor Swift, One Direction, Bleona Qereti ...

Bleona — who has previously been described as the ‘Madonna of Albania’ (although her music ain’t quite up there with Like A Prayer) — has been based in the US since 2009, working with heavy hitters like Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins in an attempt to crack the lucrative American music market.
