As the countdown to the American Music Awards (AMAs) intensifies, chatter surrounding Taylor Swift is at an all-time high. Will the star of the Eras Tour make a special appearance this year?
With the live performance just a few days away in Las Vegas, this year’s AMAs will be the first since 2022, and the 35-year-old artist is prominently featured in the nominations.
She has six nominations to her name, including the prestigious Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for her acclaimed release, The Tortured Poets Department. Given her recent successes and critical praise, she is a favorite to further enhance her already impressive AMA legacy.
Will Swift grace the AMAs?
On Wednesday, the AMAs’ official social media shared a nostalgic post that reignited excitement and speculation.
The message celebrated Swift‘s early career while illustrating her extraordinary journey and achievements.
“Who’s going to tell 2008 @taylorswift13 that she’d become the record-holder for the most #AMAs wins ever?? (40 wins!!!),” the AMAs shared on X.com, formerly known as Twitter.
While the intention was clearly to acknowledge her remarkable achievements, the post inadvertently sparked theories about her potential attendance this year.
The tweet rapidly gained traction, with numerous comments from her passionate fanbase, the Swifties.
One fan excitedly asked, “Is she going???? What do you know?”
Another questioned, “What are you hiding from us?!?!”
A third wrote, “What do. you. know.”
This spike in online discussion hasn’t escaped the notice of both media and fans, who interpret the AMAs’ homage as a clue about Swift‘s possible appearance. But is there any truth to it?
If she does attend, it would undoubtedly be a significant moment. Moreover, the prospect of appearing alongside her partner, Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, adds another layer of curiosity.
The couple has kept a relatively low profile lately, making occasional public appearances that have fueled speculation. The AMAs are known for extravagant guest lists and unforgettable performances.
A joint appearance from Swift and Kelce would surely attract considerable attention and bring noteworthy media attention to the awards show, especially following their recent period of discretion.
However, whether Swift will make it to the red carpet this Monday is still up in the air. One thing is for sure: as the AMAs prepare to return and Swift leads the nominations, enthusiasm is soaring.
The 51st American Music Awards will take place on Monday, May 26, airing live on CBS at 20:00 ET/17:00 PT. Viewing will be available via Paramount+.
