Fans have claimed that the American Music Awards muted Taylor Swift‘s nominee reel for the event amid the singer’s snub at the award show. Swift garnered a total of six nods in major categories this year, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Pop Album, and Collaboration of the Year. However, she lost in every category, making fans quite furious as they believe they let the singer down. Now, some Swifties have come forward on X (formerly Twitter) to point out how the award show allegedly muted the nomination reel for the musician.

Taylor Swift‘s fans could not hide their frustration at the AMAs 2025 after some of them claimed that the award show muted the singer’s Swifties’ reactions during category announcements. They further pointed out that the nominee reel had no cheer sound from the audience. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share how they feel about the “weird” situation, some Swifties expressed their frustration, alleging the wins were “rigged” or “heavily manipulated.”
Here are some of the fan reactions:
If the @AMAs muting the crowd cheering for Taylor during the category announcements isn’t proof that these wins were heavily manipulated, I don’t know what is.

From muting the audience cheer during Taylor Swift’s artist of the year nomination, to having fake “live” recordings of Blake & Gwen’s performances, to missing presenters who didn’t even present awards… the 2025 #AMAs were definitely sketchy and off this year. Explain please… pic.twitter.com/8KkN5ZbjyQ

Definitely rigged or manipulated in some way, you can’t tell me it’s not. AMAs is run by Billboard, I swear they have something against Taylor. This doesn’t feel right
