It’s been a disappointing night for Taylor Swift fans, as the pop superstar appeared to be snubbed at the 2025 American Music Awards.
Swift was a no-show at the star-studded event on Monday, May 26, despite much anticipation from her avid supporters. Many had been awaiting a major announcement from the singer after fans supposedly spotted clues hinting at a big reveal during the awards show.
But even if she had attended, Swift would still have walked away empty-handed, even though she earned six nominations this year.
No Wins For Taylor Swift At The AMAs
For this year’s AMAs, Swift was nominated for six categories, including, Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (“The Tortured Poets Department”), Collaboration of the Year (“Fortnight” feat, Post Malone), Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, and Favorite Pop Album.
However, the “Anti-Hero” singer failed to take home any awards, much to fans’ surprise. It marks the first time Swift has been shut out of all categories she was nominated for at the AMAs.
Swift has won a record-breaking 40 American Music Awards over the years, Billboard noted.
The singer’s absence at the 2025 AMAs may not come as a surprise to some, though. This year, Swift has only been present at two major events, the Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl.
Fans React To Swift’s AMAs Snub
Meanwhile, Swifties rallied behind the singer amid the AMAs snub. One fan wrote on Instagram, “That was the worst awards show ever y’all made us watch,” while another chimed in, “I’m so confused about our chairwoman not winning anything tonight.”
A disappointed fan wrote, “I watched the AMAs for nothing it seems,” while another added, “This is not adding up. Not even one award?!”
One user also commented, “Thank you Taylor, for your music and inspiration and the delight of being your fan. I’m sorry the awards didn’t reflect the incredible joy you give to us all.”
Some fans were even more disappointed after speculating that the singer would announce “Reputation” (Taylor’s Version) at the awards show.
One fan wrote, “Well nothing was announced. I’m just gonna cry myself to sleep now.”
Another noted, “I guess why we didn’t get the announcement of rep tv is because AMA didn’t give any single award to Taylor. How is she going to announce the new album without going to the stage?”
A fan also commented, “Can you guys please stop giving Easter eggs when nothing is coming? It’s literally getting so annoying. We wouldn’t expect anything if the eggs weren’t egging.”
Prior to the AMAs, Swifties have been searching for clues about Swift’s highly-anticipated re-recording of her 2017 album, “Reputation.”
