Taylor Swift AMAs Snub Sparks Fury Amid Album Disappointment
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Taylor Swift was snubbed at the American Music Awards (AMAs) won Monday, according to the singer's fans. Newsweek reached out to Penske Media Corporation, the company behind the awards show, via email for comment on Tuesday. The Context The AMAs were held at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Memorial Day. Jennifer Lopez hosted the evening and performed at the event. Other performers included Rod Stewart, Janet Jackson, Gloria Estefan, Benson Boone, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. Swift was nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Collaboration of the Year (with Post Malone), Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Touring Artist and Favorite Pop Album. During the Artist of the Year announcement, Swifties—the term widely used to refer to Swift's fans—called out the AMAs for appearing to mute the pop star's cheers. While some accused the awards ceremony of being "rigged," others said the event was "heavily manipulated." Taylor Swift attends the 2018 American Music Awards on October 9 in Los Angeles. Taylor Swift attends the 2018 American Music Awards on October 9 in Los dcp What To Know Despite being up for six AMAs, Swift didn't win in any category. "Bad Guy" singer Billie Eilish, meanwhile, was nominated in seven categories and won all of the fan-voted awards. To add to Swifties' disappointment, the 35-year-old was not in attendance at the event and did not make an album announcement like many thought she would. Leading up to the AMAs, eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the first letters of the words "Apparel, Music, Accessories and Sale," which were listed on Swift's website, spelled out "AMAs." There were also 12 items on sale for 26 percent off, which some suspected could tenuously refer to the singer's highly anticipated 12th album and the date of the awards show. Speculation was further fueled when the song "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)," which was originally released on her 2017 album Reputation, was included in a recent episode of The Handmaid's Tale. It should be noted, though, that the song had previously been featured in the 2023 series Wilderness. What People Are Saying On X, formerly Twitter, Swift's fans shared their thoughts on her "snub." X user corneliastagain wrote: "Bold of award shows to snub Taylor Swift when she has literally built the foundation that artists of the last two decades walk on. Y'all simply do not deserve her." illicit8affairs said: "Honestly, so done with award shows using Taylor's name and photos for clout just to disrespect her and snub her." ArianaBerr9227 voiced: "Taylor?? Not winning ANY AMAs???? Love you Billie, she def deserved something, but y'all failed Taylor." nickputation remarked: "So, AMAs used Swifties for clout by click-baiting them into thinking that rep TV is getting announced at their show only for them to snub Taylor." repermore13 stated: "They had no right to snub Taylor like this." What Happens Next Swift wrapped up her wildly popular Eras Tour in December, and since then, she has rarely been seen out in public. The "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer was recently spotted on a date with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, but has largely kept quiet on social media too. That could change, however, come September when the Chiefs begin their regular season. Since the couple began dating in 2023, Swift has been seen supporting the NFL star from the crowd.
