Curious to know if Taylor Swift made a major announcement at the 2025 American Music Awards? With six nominations and growing rumors about Reputation (Taylor’s Version), fans eagerly awaited her appearance and a possible reveal during the Las Vegas ceremony.

Here’s what we know about Taylor Swift’s absence, the missing Reputation announcement, and how the night unfolded at the AMAs.
Here’s why ‘Taylor Swift Announcement’ is trending
Taylor Swift’s absence at the 2025 American Music Awards sparked widespread fan disappointment. Their hopes for a Reputation (Taylor’s Version) announcement went unfulfilled. Despite being nominated in six major categories, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, Swift did not attend the Las Vegas event or appear via video.
Fans speculated that Swift would use the AMAs 2025 to reveal the re-recorded version of her 2017 album. A theory gained traction online. It suggested that the product categories on her official website, Apparel, Music, Accessories, and Sale, formed the acronym “AMAS,” hinting at a strategic announcement. However, Swift made no statement and remained silent on social media throughout the night.
Because Swift did not win any awards, she had no platform to deliver an acceptance speech that could double as a promotional reveal. This lack of recognition stood out since she holds the record for most AMA wins at 40. Online reactions ranged from confusion to humor, with fans posting memes and asking why she was absent.
The ceremony itself drew criticism from viewers who called it one of the weakest AMAs ever. Hosted by Jennifer Lopez, the show featured performances from Janet Jackson, Gloria Estefan, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and others.
In March, Swift wore a snake necklace during a virtual speech at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, signaling a possible Reputation-era reference. She also approved the use of a snippet from “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” in The Handmaid’s Tale. During the AMAs weekend, she spent time in West Palm Beach with Travis Kelce while fans searched online for any sign of an announcement.
