Taylor Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, are very protective of her. In March, they were upset when private photos of Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, were shared online without their permission.
Many fans were angry because the couple was photographed during a quiet date night in New York City. Swift and Kelce have kept a low profile lately, and fans believe they deserve privacy.
On Wednesday, Swifties felt emotional again when the American Music Awards (AMAs) announced this year’s nominees. Swift, who holds the record for most AMA wins (40), was nominated for six awards, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department.
However, fans noticed that her hit music video Fortnight, featuring Post Malone, was not nominated for Best Music Video. This disappointed many Swifties on social media.
One fan wrote, “No MV ” on X (formerly Twitter). Another replied, “I’m with you! That masterpiece got overlooked. ”
A different fan said, “The Fortnight music video is actually so beautiful and well-made. I don’t know why it was ignored at all the big award shows.”
Someone else added, “Even the Grammys at least nominated Fortnight. What is this mess? ” Another fan questioned, “Not nominating Fortnight is a CRIME. #AMAs, you know that MV was a masterpiece. Did you ignore it on purpose?”
Despite being nominated in six categories, Swifties couldn’t stop talking about the music video snub. Still, Swift will remain the most-awarded artist in AMA history after the ceremony in Las Vegas on May 26.
