's absence from the American Music Awards did not go unnoticed, nor did the show's unusual treatment of her. Swifties were devastated when Taylor Swift skipped the American Music Awards and pointed out some problems with the event. Taylor Swift didn't win anything, nor did she show up at all, as per a report by The Mirror US.

Fans quickly noticed muted crowd reactions, missed music segments, and a complete lack of recognition. Swifties are now accusing the AMAs of being blatantly disrespectful, as per a report.

Despite a successful year in music, viewers noticed muted cheers during her name-drop and missing mashup segments. Fans dubbed the show "shady," especially since Swift did not win any awards or receive recognition.

While speculating about a possible announcement of Reputation (Taylor's Version), fans were devastated when the pop sensation failed to show up in Las Vegas.

They wondered if the star's decision to stay at home was due to the fact that she received no recognition at the show. Taylor lost out on several awards, including Artist of the Year, to Billie Eilish, who received all six of her nominations.
Many pointed out that the audio at the AMAs Artist of the Year nominee announcements was cut, leaving viewers at home only able to hear Taylor's name as the voices of the other nominees' supporters rumbled.

While fans inside the venue or watching alternative streams attested to the crowd's exuberance for the singer, they also criticized the television production as deceptive.

"Didn't the AMAs silence the audience when they mentioned Taylor's name? LITERALLY WHAT HAS SHE DONE TO YOU IF YOU'RE BEING TALKED ABOUT IT'S BECAUSE SWIFTIES WERE EXPECTING TAYLOR TO SHOW UP/A VIDEO FROM HER BE FOR REAL," a fan raged on X.

Another commented, "It's really shady of Amas to silence the audience when Taylor was mentioned. What did she do to you? like she has only ever shown love and is literally the most honored artist in your show's history.”

The fans discovered more dubious activity than that. Jennifer Lopez gave a remarkable performance at the show's opening, dancing to a mashup of the nominees' songs. Even though Taylor's album had a record-breaking year, her music was conspicuously lacking.

One fan commented, "It seems strange that Taylor's song was excluded from the mashup while everyone else's was included."

“They didn't mention her other nominations, didn't say her name once, and muted the crowd when her name was announced.

Fans stated that it was simply odd, especially considering that the album sold more than two million copies in just two weeks. She will always be Swifties' artist of the year, regardless, as per a report.

Other fans quickly noticed that Taylor's team, Taylor Nation, went silent during the award show. They urged viewers to cast their ballots before the show, but they soon fell silent.

"During her performance, they abruptly silenced the fans, left her out of the mashup, and she received no recognition or awards," as per a report by The Mirror US.
