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.
A Look Back at Swift’s Historic AMA Run

“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.

I opened my door at 5:30 a.m. in minus 38 degrees, and she was there. My 78-year-old grandma stood trembling beside two suitcases as my parents’ SUV disappeared into the dark. “Sorry to bother you, sweetheart,” she whispered. I should have fallen apart. Instead, I made one call. Two weeks later, they were outside my house screaming, “Open this door right now!” They thought leaving her there was the end of it. They were wrong.

At the school fair, my daughter tugged on my sleeve and quietly asked to go home. But the moment we got to the car, she lifted her sweater and showed me the marks on her side, leaving me completely stunned. I did not yell or break down. I buckled her in, drove straight to the hospital, and made one phone call that night. Four hours later, when the truth finally started coming out, my wife walked in and froze.

The door had barely opened when my mother threw my medical records at me and said that if I did not leave that night, my little sister would lose her last chance. My father stood behind her, so cold it felt like everything had already been decided, then took me straight to the hospital to sign for the liver donation. But just before the pen touched the paper, the doctor walked in and said six words that left the entire room stunned.

I sat there in silence as my parents stood before the court and tried to claim parts of a life that had never been theirs, my money, my car, and even the home I had built for myself. They called me immature and unfit, while their lawyer looked certain the decision had already been made. Then a document was read aloud, the atmosphere in the room shifted instantly, and within seconds, the judge cut the hearing short and called for security.
