Zara Larsson med fem chanser på AMA 2026 – men Taylor Swift dominerar fortfarande

Publicerad: 14 april 2026 av Redaktionen @ Festivalrykten

Taylor Swift fortsätter dominera det amerikanska musikmaskineriet. När nomineringarna till American Music Awards 2026 släpptes står det klart: åtta nomineringar, flest av alla och ännu en chans att utöka sitt redan absurda rekord.

Men bakom Swift bubblar något nytt. Olivia Dean och Sombr kliver rakt in med sju nomineringar var, båda som debutanter. Tillsammans med Sabrina Carpenter och Morgan Wallen bildar de ett oväntat starkt “nästan-toppskikt”.

Samtidigt fortsätter bredden att expandera. Nya kategorier, TikTok-driven hype och ett allt mer splittrat musiklandskap gör att AMAs 2026 känns mindre förutsägbart än på länge. Frågan är inte bara om Swift vinner, utan om hennes dominans faktiskt börjar utmanas på riktigt.

Galans äger rum 25 maj i Las Vegas och avgörs, som vanligt, av fansen.

Zara Larsson har alltså chansen på hela fem priser. Årets genombrottsartist, Årets samarbete (”Stateside” med PinkPantheress), Årets virala låt (”Lush life”), Årets genombrottsalbum (Midnight sun”) och Årets sommarlåt (”Stateside”).
