Taylor Swift leads the list of nominees for this year's American Music Awards (AMAs).

The 36-year-old singer - who released The Life of a Showgirl, her 12th studio album, in 2025 - has been nominated for eight awards in total, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year for her lead single, The Fate Of Ophelia.

Taylor - who already holds the record for most AMA wins, with 40 - has also received nominations in the Best Pop Album, Best Music Video, Best Pop Song, Song of the Summer and Best Female Pop Artist categories.

Elsewhere, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, Sombr, and Olivia Dean have all received seven nominations each.

Sabrina, 26, is competing with Taylor, her showbiz pal, for numerous awards, including Album of the Year, Best Music Video, and Song of the Year gongs.

Despite the competition, Sabrina previously described Taylor as being one of her "best, best friends".

The singer told Variety: "Taylor is a rock star! She's just such a gangster with all of it.

"No matter what people are saying, everything that I've ever seen her tackle, she's done so with grace.

"The posts about me having to 'ask for her permission' - no. She's one of my best, best friends, and we grab dinner or text and catch up like you would with your best friend."

The stars competing with Sabrina - who released her Man's Best Friend album in August - and Taylor for the Best Female Pop Artist award include Lady Gaga, Olivia Dean and Tate McRae.

Olivia, 27, has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent times, following the release of The Art of Loving, her second studio album, in 2025.

And the London-born singer is in the running for seven AMAs, including New Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Breakthrough Album of the Year, Best Pop Song and Best Pop Album.

Meanwhile, Charli XCX's Wuthering Heights album - which featured in the Emerald Fennell-directed drama movie starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi - is among the contenders for the Best Soundtrack award.

The AMAs will be held on May 25 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
