Despite being arguably the face of the music industry, Taylor Swift was not present at this year’s American Music Awards. However, fans were convinced that she would make a big announcement at the AMAs ceremony on May 26, 2206 (for example, about a new album), because her hit song «Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)» was featured in the second-to-last episode of the series «The Handmaid’s Tale». Since Taylor is known for dropping subtle hints before releasing something big, fans believed that she would at least make an appearance at the awards ceremony. So why wasn’t she at the AMAs?
Hollywood Life delves into Taylor’s absence at the AMAs below.
Taylor was nominated for six AMAs this year: Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Touring Artist, Album of the Year, Favorite Pop Album for «The Department of Tortured Poets», and Collaboration of the Year for her single «Fortnight» with Post Malone.
Taylor did not explain the reason for her absence at the AMAs, and she was nowhere to be seen that day. Therefore, it is unclear whether the pop star was busy with something else or simply chose to skip this year’s ceremony.
However, on May 24, Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelsey were spotted having dinner in Palm Beach, Florida. The couple keeps everything private, and they have been together since mid-2023.
It is unclear whether Taylor is working on a new album or simply taking a break. After all, she released two albums in a row, dropped additional versions, and performed on her Eras world tour from March 2023 to December 2024.
No, Taylor did not make a cameo in the sixth season of «The Handmaid’s Tale», but her single «Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)» was played in a scene where the character Elizabeth Moss, June, led a rebellious army of handmaids. Fans quickly pointed out that one of the actors in the scene closely resembled Taylor, but Elizabeth denied the rumors during an interview with TVLine.
«Of course, it’s not her», - the actress, director, and executive producer told the agency on May 23. «Oh my God, that’s hilarious. I love that idea, though. But that’s one of the reasons we were so excited about this moment, just the fan involvement in 'The Handmaid’s Tale' is so intense, and then the combination with the Swifties — it’s like, 'Jesus Christ.' It’s so fun!»
