Did Taylor Swift Win at the 2025 AMAs? Full Winners List & Surprising Results

Taylor Swift entered the 2025 American Music Awards with six high-profile nominations—including Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop Album for “The Tortured Poets Department,” and Favorite Female Pop Artist—but walked away with zero trophies, ending the night as one of the show’s biggest surprises. Swift, who already holds the all-time record of 40 AMA wins, was widely expected by industry watchers to extend her lead, but a clean sweep by Billie Eilish and dominant showings from SZA, Morgan Wallen, and Post Malone reshaped the leaderboard. Eilish captured Artist of the Year as well as Song of the Year for “Birds of a Feather,” while SZA’s “SOS” tour clinched Favorite R&B Tour. Although Swift performed “Fortnight / Cruel Summer” in a pre-taped segment and received some of the night’s loudest applause, the final tallies left her without hardware. Social media hashtags like #AMASNub and #JusticeForTaylor began trending within minutes of the broadcast’s end, fueling fan commentary about perceived voting fatigue and the AMAs’ revamped ballot system, which now weights streaming data more heavily than traditional album sales. Industry analysts point out that Swift has experienced similar fallow AMA cycles before; in both 2014 and 2018 she was shut out the year after massive stadium tours, only to rebound with record-setting wins in subsequent ceremonies. With “The Tortured Poets Department” still leading the Billboard 200 for a seventh non-consecutive week and the “Era’s Tour” film due on streaming in June, chart momentum suggests Swift will remain an awards-season force—even if the 2025 AMAs didn’t reflect it this time around. Complete 2025 AMA highlights • Billie Eilish: 7 nominations, 7 wins including Artist of the Year • Morgan Wallen: 3 wins, dominated Country categories • SZA: 2 wins plus triumph in the inaugural Favorite R&B Tour slot • Post Malone: 2 wins, including Collaboration of the Year with Beyoncé Why Swift’s 2025 AMA results matter For pop culture observers, Swift’s blank slate underscores an increasingly crowded field of Gen-Z and genre-blending contenders. It also raises questions about whether the AMAs’ fan-voted model can keep pace with the Swift fandom’s sprawling but potentially vote-diluted presence across social platforms. Looking ahead, the singer’s next major award show milestone is the 2025 Grammy eligibility cutoff in September. If her current chart reign holds, “Tortured Poets” could position Swift to break even more records where it counts most—in the Recording Academy’s history books.
