Daftar Nominasi American Music Awards 2026, Siapa Mendominasi?

Taylor Swift kembali mendominasi kategori nominasi American Music Awards tahun ini. Kali ini, pelantun lagu "Love Story" tersebut masuk di delapan nominasi. Menjadi penyanyi yang paling banyak mendapatkan nominasi pada AMA 2026.

Angka ini disusul dengan beberapa nama seperti Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, Olivia Dean, dan SOMBR yang masing-masing meraih tujuh nominasi. Taylor Swift semakin mengukuhkan dirinya sebagai ratu AMA dan masih memegang rekor kemenangan terbanyak sepanjang sejarah yakni sebanyak 40 kemenangan.

Pasar musik Korea Selatan di Amerika Serikat memang sangat besar, lonjakannya terasa dalam beberapa tahun terakhir ini. AMA sendiri telah mengakui KPop sebagai kategori penghargaan sendiri sejak 2022, bukan sekadar masuk ke kategori pop umum. Pada tahun ini, AMA juga tetap menyertakan dua kategori penghargaan khusus KPop yakni Best Male K-Pop Artist dan Best Female K-Pop Artist. BTS, Stray Kids, aespa, hingga BLACKPINK akan saling senggol untuk memperebutkan penghargaan ini.
