Taylor Swift entered the American Music Awards as the biggest nominee of the night with eight nods, but still left empty-handed.
The pop superstar, who skipped the fan-voted awards show held Monday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, failed to add to her record 40 AMA wins.
Swift had been nominated in several major categories, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for The life of a showgirl and Song of the Year for Ophelia’s fate.
Instead, artist of the year went to BTS, marking another major milestone for the K-pop group. Song of the Year was awarded to HUNTR/X’s EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami for Golden as singing voices of Kpop Demon Hunters.
Swift also lost Song of the Summer for Elizabeth Taylorwhere BTS takes home the award for SWIM. Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter dominated the pop categories, winning both Best Female Pop Artist and Best Pop Album for Man’s best friend.
Elsewhere, KATSEYE’s Gnarly beat the Swifts Ophelia’s fate for Best Music Video, while Golden also claimed Best Pop Song.
Although Swift did not attend the ceremony, the singer has remained in the spotlight in recent weeks thanks to several public appearances with fiancé Travis Kelce. The couple was recently spotted attending an NBA playoff game in Cleveland together after enjoying several date nights in New York City.
