Swifties Disappointed as Taylor Swift Skips 2025 AMAs Without Announcement

Las Vegas, NV — Fans of Taylor Swift were left disappointed after the pop superstar did not attend the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26, despite the buzz leading up to the event suggesting there could be an announcement regarding her music.

In the weeks leading to the ceremony, Swifties speculated that the Grammy-winning singer might unveil a new album or announce the re-recording of her controversial album, ‘Reputation.’ However, the night came and went without any sighting of Swift or news of a release.

Prior to the awards, comedian and Swift fan Esther Glaser expressed her excitement about a possible Swift appearance during a red carpet interview. “I did see a list on Instagram tonight of all the Easter eggs that say that she’s going to be here,” Glaser said, hinting at the fervor among fans anticipating a major surprise.

Despite the lack of an announcement, hope ran high among fans, as Swift’s official store featured a menu reading “Apparel, Music, Accessories, Sale,” which spelled out “AMAs.” Moreover, several items were marked down by 26 percent, matching the ceremony date. Glaser remarked how the coincidences lined up perfectly, leading her to believe that Swift was gearing up for a big reveal.

However, by the end of the night, it was confirmed that Swift did not make an appearance, leaving many fans feeling misled. “I know that Taylor doesn’t owe us anything but what was the reason behind this?” one fan wrote on X, reflecting the disappointment shared by many. Social media was flooded with memes, many poking fun at their own expectations. One user humorously altered the lyrics of Swift’s song ‘This Is Me Trying’ to read, ‘This Is Me Clowning.’

Fans have been yearning for new music since Swift released ‘Tortured Poets‘ in April 2024. The last re-recorded album, ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version),’ was released in October 2023. With only two more albums due for re-release in her ongoing mission to regain control of her music, the anticipation among Swifties remains high.

As the AMAs passed without any news, it appears fans will need to continue their wait for any future announcements from the artist.
