Despite it all, Swift did not attend the 2025 American Music Awards. While, she was not the only A-lister to skip the event, Taylor Swift’s recent Reputation (Taylor’s Version) teasers and her long history with the AMAs, fans believed she would use the show to officially announce the highly anticipated project.

Taylor Swift skipped the AMAs because of her fallout with Blake Lively drama after being dragged into her legal war with Justin Baldoni, according to insiders.
