Taylor Swift is once again dominating the American Music Awards conversation, securing six major nominations as the show prepares for its highly anticipated return after a two-year break.
The AMAs, set to air live from Las Vegas on Memorial Day (May 26) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+, announced their full list of contenders on April 23 — with Swift once again standing tall among music’s biggest names.
Swift Scores Big in Six Categories
The 34 year old pop icon is nominated in the following categories:
Artist of the Year
Favorite Female Pop Artist
Album of the Year
Favorite Pop Album
Collaboration of the Year
Favorite Touring Artist
These nominations come on the heels of a record-breaking run that already earned her the title of most decorated artist in AMA history.
As of now, Swift holds 40 wins out of 49 nominations an 82% win rate that underscores her unparalleled popularity and staying power.
After a two-year hiatus, the AMAs are returning with fresh energy and fierce competition. Kendrick Lamar leads the pack this year with 10 nominations across eight categories.
If he wins them all, Lamar would tie the legendary record for most awards won in a single night a record currently held by both Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
As always, the AMAs are fan-voted, giving Swifties another chance to boost their favorite artist to the top. The voting process adds a layer of excitement and unpredictability to the ceremony, especially with such powerhouse nominees in the mix.

“In the past few years, I have released more music than I did in the entire decade preceding that,” she said while holding her signature glass prism trophy.
“I really feel like that’s down to the fact you, the fans, made it clear that you wanted to hear lots of music that I would make.”
With the upcoming release of The Tortured Poets Department continuing to dominate charts and headlines, 2025 could mark yet another historic sweep for Swift at the AMAs.

My 11-year-old daughter came home, but her key wouldn’t work, so she stood there for a long time trying to stay out of the rain. Then my mother stepped outside and said, simply, “We’ve all agreed. From now on, you and your mom don’t belong here.” I didn’t argue. I just said, “Understood.” Three days later, my mother received a letter, went pale as she read it, and everything took a turn no one saw coming.

I pretended I was broke and asked my millionaire children for help, hoping for a little warmth. But all I got back was distance and cold words, and I walked away feeling completely alone.

Our engagement dinner suddenly turned into a suffocating moment when my future mother-in-law, the wife of a powerful CEO, kept bragging about her “prestigious” family name, mocked my past, and deliberately humiliated me right in front of everyone. But before I could get a single word out, my mother stood up, looked her straight in the eye, and calmly said just one sentence, and the entire room fell into silence.

In a quiet neighborhood coffee shop, a rude man mocked a 78-year-old widow, tossing out cutting remarks and trying to humiliate her in front of everyone, convinced she was alone and would stay silent. She didn’t argue. She barely said a word. She simply lifted her phone. Minutes later, her son walked in, a Navy SEAL home on leave. What happened next wasn’t loud or chaotic, but it was a firm lesson in respect that shifted the entire room in a matter of moments.
