Taylor Swift is easily one of the most decorated artists in music history, as she continues to break one record after the other. Seldom does she return home empty-handed from award ceremonies.
With 14 Grammys, endless Billboard Music Awards, and an ever-growing collection of accolades from AMAs, MTV VMAs, and more, Swift sure has built herself an impressive resume over the years. She is also the only artist to win Album of the Year four times.
However, Swift still has space in her cabinets for a few awards that she has yet to win, despite being nominated for them. Let’s take a look at the categories from some of the major award ceremonies that have been just out of Swift’s reach.
4 Grammy Awards Taylor Swift Has Never Won
Despite her incredible run at the Grammys so far, there are four categories in which Taylor Swift hasn’t lifted a trophy yet: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Swift has been nominated for Record of the Year a total of six times so far:
She has been nominated seven times for Song of the Year:
Five times for Best Pop Solo Performance:
And four times for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance:
American Music Awards
Taylor Swift has won big at the American Music Awards, but there are four categories in which she has yet to win: Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Album of the Year, and Collaboration of the Year.
She was nominated for Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Album of the Year (The Tortured Poets Department), and Collaboration of the Year (Fortnight ft. Post Malone) in 2025. Another Collab of the Year nomination came in 2015 for Bad Blood ft. Kendrick Lamar, but she didn’t win back then either.
Academy of Country Music Awards
Taylor Swift has one in each category at the ACMAs at least once, except in Song of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year.
She has been nominated once for Song of the Year:
And seven times for Female Vocalist of the Year:
Billboard Music Awards
The Billboard Music Awards have always been kind to Taylor Swift, well, except when it comes to awarding her with the Top Hot 100 Song trophy, despite nominating her twice.
On the contrary, Swift has won both times when she was nominated for Top Hot 100 Songwriter (2023, 2024), so that’s definitely something!
iHeartRadio Music Awards
The Swifties have always supported Taylor Swift through thick and thin, eagerly waiting for “Mother” to drop new albums for them to decode and find out the easter eggs in. Unfortunately for us fans, Swift has never won Best Fan Army at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
She was nominated in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, bringing the grand total to 10. Swift was also nominated twice for Best Collaboration, but to no avail. She was nominated in 2016 for Bad Blood and in 2025 for Fortnight.
The Opalite singer may not have won every single award on the planet, but she has been adequately appreciated for the work she has done for the music industry so far. And who knows? Maybe The Life of a Showgirl will bring a change?
