The American Music Awards, better known as the AMAs, are one of the most prestigious music awards that fans of all artists look forward to every year. Swifties are no different; however, this year’s awards brought an onslaught of negativity to the fandom. Singer Taylor Swift, who is well known across the globe and already has approximately 40 AMAs under her belt, did not manage to win a single title this year.
Taylor Swift comes home with zero AMAs; fans react
Taylor Swift, who was nominated for approximately 6 different categories last night, was unable to register her name on the winners’ list. Fans of the singer were expecting a lot more from the award show last night, and the unexpected outcome created a lot of buzz online.Her nominations were namely in the categories of Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Favourite Pop Album for ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, Collaboration of the Year for ‘Fortnight (featuring Post Malone)’, Favourite Touring Artist for the Eras Tour and Favourite Female Pop Artist.5 out of the six nominations were taken by Billie Eilish, while Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars won the Collaboration of the Year award with their global hit ‘Die With A Smile’.One of the many nominations that Taylor Swift received was the ‘Favourite Touring Artist’, specifically for her Eras tour. The fans of the artist were extremely shocked, as Swift had managed to travel to 5 out of 7 continents for her tour. Not only that, but she visited 51 cities and performed a total of 149 shows throughout her tour as well.The Eras tour was one of the biggest sensations in the music industry, not only due to the capacity of the shows but also due to its economic impact. Specifically, according to The New York Times, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer’s tour was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time. By the time Taylor performed her final 149th show in Vancouver, the artist had managed to amass a total of $2,077,618,725 in earnings.One fan wrote in their post that “the amas muting the crowd for ONLY taylor swifts “artist of the year” clip is actually crazy work”, while another added “TAYLOR WILL FOREVER & ALWAYS BE OUR ARTIST OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR FOR OUR LIFETIME. WIN OR NO WIN WE ARE SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU TAYLOR & WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH FOREVER & EVER & EVER #AMAs.” More fans joked about the situation to deal with it, witch one fans commenting “AMAs really said “no attendance, no award for you” lmao”.

Fans also expected an announcement for a new album
Ever since the artist’s tour wrapped up in December last year, she has not released much information about her future plans. Fans had been expecting the artist to attend the AMAs and also give some special announcement on a new album; however, fans were left disappointed as Swift did not make an appearance on the red carpet, and no announcement came about new content either.
