Taylor Swift didn’t attend the 2026 American Music Awards, but did she secure any wins?
Despite having the most nominations going into the awards show, Swift skipped out on the ceremony that took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, May 25.
It was previously announced that Swift led the pack of AMAs nominations this year with eight nods across several different categories. She was up for Artist of the Year, Best Female Pop Artist, Album of the Year and Best Pop Album for The Life of a Showgirl, Song of the Year, Best Music Video and Best Pop Song for “The Fate of Ophelia” and Song of the Summer for “Elizabeth Taylor.”
Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, released in October 2025, was her 12th studio album and offered insight into her relationship with fiancé Travis Kelce. (The couple famously started dating in summer 2023, after Kelce attended her Eras Tour, and announced their engagement in August 2025.)
“This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who is here tonight,” Swift said about the record during the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this year. “So, thanks for the vibes.”
