Taylor Swift‘s fans are questioning how she ended up losing in every category at the 2025 American Music Awards after she rarely ever lost at the awards show in previous years.
The fan-voted awards show aired on Monday (May 26) and Taylor was up for six awards this year – Artist of the Year, Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Album of the Year and Favorite Pop Album for The Tortured Poets Department, and Collaboration of the Year for “Fortnight” with Post Malone.
Taylor has won 40 awards from the American Music Awards over the years, including seven wins for Artist of the Year. She has only lost eight times from 2007 until this year’s six losses.
This year, she lost five of the six awards to Billie Eilish. Fans thought that she was going to announce major news while accepting an award at the event, but that didn’t happen.
A viral tweet with more than 2 million views said, “something isnt right about this. 18 years she hasnt lost an ama but randomly during her peak years she lost all of her nominations?”
Taylor‘s fans have also accused AMAs producers of lowering the volume of the audience screams when the singer’s name was announced as a nominee during the Artist of the Year category.
Fans have also pointed out the fine print on the voting rules.

AMAs producers have the right to select the winners of the awards if they have found tampering with the voting process.
“If the voting process is interrupted for any reason, is found to have been tampered with in any way, or for any other reason that Producer believes to be reasonably necessary (for example, in instances of infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical or system failures or disruption, ‘acts of God’ or terrorist attacks, or any other causes beyond Producer’s control), Producer reserves the right to select the winners of the Awards and may take into consideration the number of votes received by any nominee up until the time of the interruption or cancelation of the voting process,” the rules state.
