MERAHPUTIH.COM — TAYLOR Swift berpotensi menambah jumlah trofi American Music Awards (AMA) miliknya di tahun ini. Dalam pengumaman nominasi pada Selasa (14/4) waktu AS, Swift memimpin perolehan nominasi AMA 2026 dengan delapan nominasi. Morgan Wallen, Olivia Dean, Sabrina Carpenter, dan sombr berada tepat di belakang dengan masing-masing tujuh nominasi. Alex Warren dan Lady Gaga masing-masing meraih enam nominasi.
Dengan delapan nominasi, Swift, yang kini memegang 40 trofi AMA, berpeluang semakin memperlebar rekornya sebagai peraih AMA terbanyak. Michael Jackson saat ini berada di posisi kedua dengan 24 kemenangan, diikuti Alabama dengan 23 dan Whitney Houston dengan 21.
Justin Bieber, yang memiliki empat nominasi tahun ini, juga berpeluang naik di daftar sepanjang masa AMA. Ia telah memenangi 18 penghargaan. Jika memenangi satu saja trofi tahun ini, ia akan menyamai Kenny Rogers sebagai artis pria dengan kemenangan terbanyak kedua (kategori pria masih dipimpin Michael Jackson).
Sementara itu, Dean dan sombr bersaing di tiga kategori, yakni New Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, dan Breakthrough Album of the Year. Dua bintang yang tengah naik daun ini sebelumnya bersaing di kategori Best New Artist di ajang Grammy Awards tahun ini, dengan Dean keluar sebagai pemenang. Nominee AMA pertama kali lainnya termasuk Warren, BigXthaPlug, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, PinkPantheress, RAYE, Role Model, Sienna Spiro, dan Tate McRae.
