Fans Search ‘Did Taylor Swift Win Any AMAs 2025?' After the Event
Wondering if Taylor Swift won big at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs)? The pop icon was nominated in multiple major categories at this year's American Music Awards, sparking widespread buzz among fans and speculation about a possible sweep. With six nods tied to her Tortured Poets Department era, anticipation ran high ahead of the Las Vegas ceremony. Here's what we know so far about Taylor Swift's AMAs 2025 performance, her nominations, and how the night unfolded. Taylor Swift did not win any awards at the 2025 American Music Awards despite receiving six nominations. She was nominated for Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Touring Artist, Album of the Year, Favorite Pop Album, and Collaboration of the Year. Billie Eilish won all five pop and touring-related categories. Her wins included Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for Hit Me Hard and Soft. Collaboration of the Year went to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for 'Die With A Smile.' Swift did not attend the May 26 event at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. She has not made any public statement about the snub. In the lead-up to the show, fans promoted voting efforts online. Many pointed to Easter eggs on her official store site that hinted at AMAs-related announcements. Before 2025, Swift had earned a record 40 AMAs, making her the most-awarded artist in the show's history. Her last appearance at the ceremony was in 2022, where she won six trophies. The AMAs did not take place in 2023 or 2024. In 2025, Swift has mostly stayed away from public events. She skipped the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March but shared a video message after winning nine awards. These included Tour of the Century and Favorite Pop Album. Her last major appearances were at the 2025 Grammy Awards in February and the Super Bowl, where she supported her partner Travis Kelce. Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on ComingSoon.

Taylor Swift dropping new album on Memorial Day? Fans pick up ‘hidden' clues
Taylor Swift has sent her loyal fans buzzing once again with her hidden clues, many of which they believe to be pointing towards a big announcement at the American Music Awards on May 26 this year. After finishing her record-breaking Eras tour in Vancouver last year, Swift has carefully kept herself hidden from the public eye, apart from a few appearances here and there with her boyfriend Travis Kelce. However, ever-eager 'Swifties' have been working overtime to decipher the string of Easter eggs left by Swift, which may be pointing to the re-release of previous music or maybe even a new album. Read More: Taylor Swift song used during rebellion in The Handmaid's Tale episode; internet calls it dystopia's 'revenge anthem' Dedicated fans of Swift have long been on the wait for her to re-record her two remaining 'masters'- Reputation and her debut album. Her last re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version), came out in October 2023 and it's been well over a year since she dropped the Tortured Poets Department as well. This and the fact that Taylor's last six-month trademark extension to re-record these two remaining albums has given many the hope that Swift will drop these covers before losing the rights to do so. Eagle-eyed fans have noted a recent change in Swift's merch website. On scrolling down, her clickable links have been arranged in the order of apparel, music, accessories, sale- an obvious acronym for AMAS. Previously, it was organised in the manner of sale, music, and accessories, followed by home. Additionally, the website has also introduced a 26% discount on 12 items. Since Swift's next release will be her twelfth album, many fans speculate that this could also be pointing towards the release of new music altogether. Read More: Travis Kelce is fuming over Trump's Taylor Swift dig: 'He is so mad that...' Swift has built a reputation for using her website to tease new releases in the past as well, when she used a phrase from her song 'Willow' as a coupon code about a month before the 'Evermore' album was dropped. Her merchandise pricing for signed CDs of Fearless (Taylor's Version) was $19.89 two years before 1989 (Taylor's Version) came out. Swift's codes go beyond just her website into her award-show fashion as well. Swift accepted her 2023 Grammy for 'Album of the Year' in a blue dress- the signature colour of 'Midnights'. She then opted for a white dress the year after that, where she announced 'The Tortured Poets Department' at the ceremony. This year, Swift opted for a red dres,s which doesn't match the theme of any of her previous albums. Fans speculate that Swift planned to wear these three colours, representing the American flag- red, white, and blue- beforehand so that she could make a huge announcement at the AMAs this year, which also happens to be on Memorial Day. However, certain people are also willing to bet their money on July 4 for the release of new music, given Taylor's previous regard for this date. To add to the swirl of upending excitement, recently a re-recorded version of the track 'Look What You Made Me Do' from the 'Reputation' album was played in an episode of The Handmaid's Tale. Swift hasn't performed at the AMAS since 2019 when she had a major public falling out with Scooter Braun. Fans are hopeful that a big announcement on the same day, six years later, would be symbolic of her fight to reclaim the rights to her 'masters' albums. Despite being nominated for six awards this year, it's unclear whether Swift is scheduled to perform at the event as well.

Travis Kelce Goes Husband Mode for Taylor Swift's Guitar with 15,000 USD Bid Creating Enviable Moment; Watch
Travis Kelce made headlines at the Patrick Mahomes 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Vegas Golf Classic charity gala on Thursday, May 15, when he placed a USD 15,000 bid on a Taylor Swift-signed Tortured Poets Department guitar, only to jokingly bow out with a husband-like quip that had the audience laughing. The signed guitar, donated by Swift herself, was one of the top auction items at the event held in Las Vegas. In a video posted by Instagram user Lauren Door, Kelce was seen holding up his auction paddle as the bid on the guitar climbed from USD 10,000 to USD 15,000. Standing beside him at the table was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, seemingly ready to support the moment. Just as the bidding reached USD 15,000, Kelce sat down and was heard joking, 'I just realized I have that already,' drawing laughter from the crowd. The playful moment quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans reacting warmly. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, 'Aww, his comment is soooo cute!' Another added, 'He's flexing. I'm so jealous of him.' Others chimed in with reactions like 'just cute as heck,' and 'He's the biggest Swiftie ever.' Some even speculated Kelce's bid was meant to boost interest in the auction item. 'Bet on it to raise the offer then bowed out,' one person commented. Although Taylor Swift was not in attendance this year, she did join Kelce at last year's event, where she was seen smiling and enjoying his antics. This time, her presence was still felt, especially with the guitar from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, which was a direct donation for the auction. Travis Kelce has been open about being a longtime Swiftie and often supports Swift both publicly and privately. This lighthearted auction moment further cemented his image as a supportive partner, with fans affectionately calling it a 'husband move.' In the end, the signed Taylor Swift guitar went to another bidder, but Kelce's sweet and funny moment stole the show.

Why do Taylor Swift fans think she's making a major announcement at the AMAs? We examine the Easter eggs.
Is Taylor Swift making a big announcement at the American Music Awards on May 26? Some Swifties are speculating that the music icon is dropping more of her famous Easter eggs for fans to find, and that it all leads up to the Memorial Day awards show. Swift ended her years-and-continents-spanning Eras Tour on Dec. 8 in Vancouver, Canada, and since then has kept a low profile as she jet sets with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. She hasn't teased new music on the horizon, or even the release of her upcoming rerecordings of her 2017 album Reputation or her 2006 debut album, both of which fans expected to drop over the span of her tour. Of course, Swift — who, over the last four years, dropped eight albums including rerecordings — isn't one to step away from the spotlight for long. Many Swifties now believe the 'Anti-Hero' artist is planning something major for the AMAs, where she's nominated for six honors: Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Album of the Year, Favorite Pop Album, Collaboration of the Year and Favorite Touring Artist. Taylor Nation is encouraging fans to vote but staying mum about whether the so-called chairman of the Tortured Poets Department is attending or performing at the event, leaving fans to speculate. Here are the clues that some fans think suggest we should keep an eye out for an announcement — or even something bigger. Eagle-eyed fans on social media noted that when you scroll down on Swift's merch site, you get a blocked section with several different click-through links for Apparel, Music, Accessories and Sale. Take the first letter of each and what do you have? AMAs ... i.e., a hint that Swift may be directing fans toward the upcoming awards show. Oh, and there's more: As many Swifties have noted, there are currently 12 items on sale for 26% off on her website. The AMAs are on May 26, and Swift's next album will be her 12th. Some are interpreting this as a clue that she won't be announcing a rerecord, but a brand-new album. This potential clue requires a bit more planning, but it involves the dresses that Swift wore to the past three Grammys. In 2023, when she accepted the Album of the Year for Midnights, Swift sported a blue, subtly sparkly outfit. The following year, when she announced her new album The Tortured Poets Department, she wore a white gown. This year, she returned to the Grammys in a red number — which some fans thought was surprising given that it did not appear to be nodding to any specific body of work. So this is where things get interesting. All three of these colors happen to be the colors of the American flag ... and the AMAs this year happen to fall on Memorial Day. This clue suggests that Swift must have known the date for the AMAs prior to her Grammys arrival this year, and knew that she would have an announcement to make. Officially, the AMAs date was released to the public at the end of February — and the Grammys were Feb. 2. So, it's quite possible Swift's team got wind of the date and put together a red outfit to go with a red, white and blue theme over the years. Some fans speculate that Swift might be announcing on Memorial Day and then releasing her album — whether that be 'TS12' or one or both of her rerecordings — on July 4, the next America-focused holiday. Swift's pretty well known for hosting famous friends at her Newport, R.I., home for lavish Fourth of July parties, where red, white and blue outfits are encouraged. Fans of Swift know all about her beef with Scooter Braun, who acquired Swift's masters in summer 2019 — something she made clear she was unhappy about. Months later, she took the stage at the AMAs and performed her Lover song 'The Man' while wearing a white shirt that included the titles of her original albums in black lettering, as well as a medley of several other songs like 'Love Story.' It was at that ceremony she became the most-decorated artist in AMAs history — a title she claimed after surpassing Michael Jackson's record of 26 wins. Swift hasn't performed at the AMAs since — but some fans think it might be the perfect place to announce that she's releasing all of her rerecordings, given that all the drama started there in the first place. And if we get a surprise performance? All the better. Any good Swiftie knows that her favorite number is 13. The AMAs is on May 26 — aka, 5/26. And what is 5 + 2 + 6? Well, 13.
