Swifties Heartbroken Over Latest Taylor Swift News — And They’re Not Staying Silent
Taylor Swift’s fiercely loyal fanbase, the Swifties, is once again rallying behind their idol — this time, in response to two emotional blows.
Back in March, fans were outraged when private photos of Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, were leaked online. The couple was enjoying a quiet date night in New York City when they were photographed without their consent. Swifties, always protective of their queen, slammed the invasion of privacy, especially since the couple has been intentionally keeping a low profile.
But the heartbreak didn’t stop there.
On Wednesday, the American Music Awards (AMAs) revealed their 2025 nominees — and while Swift scored six impressive nominations, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for The Tortured Poets Department, fans quickly noticed a glaring omission: her hit music video Fortnight (featuring Post Malone) was snubbed in the Best Music Video category.
Social media quickly lit up with disappointment.
“No MV??” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“I’m with you! That masterpiece got overlooked,” another responded.
“Fortnight is actually so beautiful and well-made,” someone else added. “I don’t know why it’s being ignored at all the major award shows.”
Another user fumed, “Even the Grammys nominated Fortnight. What is this mess?”
And perhaps most bluntly: “Not nominating Fortnight is a CRIME. #AMAs, you know that MV was a masterpiece. Did you ignore it on purpose?”
Despite being one of the most nominated artists this year, the Fortnight snub has cast a shadow over the celebration for many fans. Still, Swift continues to reign supreme as the most-awarded artist in AMA history, with 40 wins to her name — a record she’s likely to extend at this year’s ceremony in Las Vegas on May 26.
The next closest artist? Justin Bieber, with 18 wins — less than half of Swift’s total.
Whether she sweeps the night or not, one thing’s certain: Swifties will always have her back — especially when they feel she’s been overlooked or treated unfairly. And they’re not afraid to speak out.
