As anticipation builds for the return of the American Music Awards (AMAs), speculation around one name in particular has reached a fever pitch - Taylor Swift. Will the Eras Tour sensation be at the event?
With just five days remaining until the live broadcast from Las Vegas, this year's AMAs mark the first ceremony since 2022, and the 35-year-old is once again at the forefront of the nominations list.
She is up for six awards, including the coveted Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for her record-breaking release The Tortured Poets Department, and her recent commercial success and critical acclaim have made her a strong favorite to add to her already historic AMA track record.
Will Swift attend the AMAs?
On Wednesday, the AMAs' official social media posted a nostalgic tribute that reignited excitement-and speculation.
The post featured a nod to Swift's early days, drawing a direct line from her 2008 self to her now-unmatched legacy at the AMAs.
"Who's going to tell 2008 @taylorswift13 that she'd one day hold the title for most #AMAs wins in history?? (40 wins!!!)," the AMAs posted to X.com, formerly Twitter."
But while clearly intended to celebrate her unprecedented success streak, the message had an unintended consequence by igniting fan theories about her possible appearance at this year's show.
The post quickly went viral, drawing hundreds of comments from her ionately devoted fanbase, known as Swifties.
One fan replied, "Is she going?????? What do you know?"
A second said, "what are you keeping from us?!?!"
And a third wrote, "what do. you. know."
This surge of online activity has not gone unnoticed by media outlets and fans alike, who are reading the AMAs' tribute as a hint that Swift might be preparing for a surprise appearance. But is it true?
The star's potential presence at the ceremony would be a headline moment on its own. However, the possibility that she might attend with her partner, the Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce, has only added to the intrigue.
The couple has maintained a relatively private profile in recent months, they have been spotted together sporadically, enough to keep the rumor mill alive, and the AMAs have long been known for their star-studded guest lists and memorable performances.
A Swift-Kelce appearance would undoubtedly draw attention and generate major media coverage, offering excellent exposure for the awards ceremony, particularly after months of public silence from the couple.
But, ultimately, whether or not Swift will walk the red carpet this Monday remains uncertain. Yet, one thing is clear: with the AMAs returning to the spotlight, and Swift once again dominating nominations, excitement is reaching new heights.
The 51st American Music Awards will be hosted on Monday, May 26 and will be live to watch on CBS. The event is due to start at 20:00 ET/17:00 PT. Streaming is available at Paramount+.
