Taylor Swift - English
Pop superstar Taylor Swift walked away without a single win at the 2025 American Music Awards, much to the disbelief of her devoted fanbase. Despite being nominated in six major categories – including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year – Swift didn’t score a single trophy at Monday night’s ceremony held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
The singer, who did not attend the event, was also up for Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Pop Album for The Tortured Poets Department, and Collaboration of the Year for “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone.
The night proved to be a huge sweep for Billie Eilish, who claimed most of Swift’s hoped-for awards. Eilish won Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Touring Artist, Album of the Year, and Favorite Pop Album. Meanwhile, Collaboration of the Year was awarded to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for their song “Die With A Smile.”
Despite heavy fan support and Easter eggs, Swift came up short

The results were unexpected, especially considering Swift‘s unmatched legacy at the AMAs. Heading into the 2025 show, she held the title of the most-awarded artist in AMAs history, with an impressive 40 wins.
Swift last attended the show in November 2022, a night that saw her collect six trophies. (The AMAs were not held in either 2023 or 2024, making this year’s ceremony especially anticipated.)
In true Swiftie fashion, fans flooded social media in the days and weeks leading up to the event, encouraging others to vote and dissecting potential hints that the star had something big planned.
One theory centered on her official website, where a menu displaying “Apparel, Music, Accessories, Sale” prompted speculation after fans noticed that the first letters spelled “AMAS.” Others were drawn to the fact that 12 items were listed at a 26 percent discount-interpreting it as a clue referencing Swift’s upcoming 12th album and the May 26 award show date.
Taylor Nation also stirred buzz with a cryptic May 6 post on X, writing: “And our town, it looks so sMall from wAy up here. Screamed, ‘vote for the chairman’ at the night sky!” Eagle-eyed fans noted that the capitalized letters again spelled out “AMAS.”

Felipe Melo projeta Flamengo finalista da Libertadores, mas evita antecipar título no Brasileirão: “Eles vão brigar”
Felipe Melo, em registro no Fechamento SporTV (Reprodução)Felipe Melo vê margem para reviravoltas ao longo do segundo turno do Brasileirão. Apesar da vantagem atrelada ao Flamengo, que depende apenas das próprias forças na disputa pelo título, o ex-jogador fez questão de ressaltar a forte concorrência envolvendo Palmeiras e Cruzeiro, e ainda não descarta totalmente o Botafogo. Sendo assim, o desfecho somente na última rodada é um cenário visto como provável. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE“Eu não tenho bola de cristal.

Fantasy Football Week 1 Tight End Preview: Projections, numbers to know, and more
USATSI At the other positions, this week is all about how Week 1 projections look different than season-long rankings. At tight end, that may be pretty obvious. Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland were rookies we pushed up in the season-long rankings because of their upside, not because of their Week 1 projection. That's why I generally suggested drafting one of Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, or Jake Ferguson to pair with them. At the same time, low-end tight ends are such low scorers, I wouldn't necessarily say you can't start Loveland or Warren this week. Just know that you don't have much floor in their debuts. The positive for Warren is his offense has an implied total of 24 points, which is an edge over the Bears' 21.5.One of the most disturbing implied totals of the week is the Detroit Lions. […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Breakouts, optimal picks from model that called Jayden Daniels’ big season
Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final season at Boise State, and after being selected No. 6 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the clear expectation is for Jeanty to assume a significant role in the Las Vegas offense from Day 1. Jeanty has been the sixth Fantasy football running back off the board on average and has a 2025 Fantasy football ADP of 5.7. Raheem Mostert and Zamir White will provide some competition for touches, but the early indication is that Jeanty could be slated for a true three-down role and he should see heavy volume playing for Pete Carroll.However, with established backs like De'Von Achane and Josh Jacobs also available in the middle of the first round, is Jeanty really the best option at that stage of the draft? Having […]
John Calipari bringing Arkansas to face Memphis will finally let Tiger fans celebrate his great nine-year run
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- John Calipari walked into the grand lobby here at FedExForum on Tuesday for a press conference to announce the Hoops For St. Jude Tip-off Classic -- an exhibition scheduled for next month between the team he now coaches (Arkansas) and the team he used to coach (Memphis) with proceeds benefitting the internationally acclaimed downtown hospital located minutes away.But it was so much more than just a press conference.For anybody who understands the history of Calipari in Memphis, or the relationship between Calipari and Memphis since he left for Kentucky in March 2009, it was a sweet scene -- one that seemed to represent the official beginning of the end of an awkward existence between two things that seemed like a perfect match for nine remarkable years in the early 2000s, before little more than a logical career-choice took […]
