Taylor Swift didn’t attend the 2026 American Music Awards, but did she secure any wins?

Despite having the most nominations going into the awards show, Swift skipped out on the ceremony that took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, May 25.

It was previously announced that Swift led the pack of AMAs nominations this year with eight nods across several different categories. She was up for Artist of the Year, Best Female Pop Artist, Album of the Year and Best Pop Album for The Life of a Showgirl, Song of the Year, Best Music Video and Best Pop Song for “The Fate of Ophelia” and Song of the Summer for “Elizabeth Taylor.”

Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, released in October 2025, was her 12th studio album and offered insight into her relationship with fiancé Travis Kelce. (The couple famously started dating in summer 2023, after Kelce attended her Eras Tour, and announced their engagement in August 2025.)

“This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who is here tonight,” Swift said about the record during the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this year. “So, thanks for the vibes.”

Was Taylor Swift at the 2026 American Music Awards?

Swift was not in attendance at the 2026 AMAs.

The awards ceremony did, however, take place days after Swift made headlines for a surprise outing with Kelce. The pair packed on the PDA while attending Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks at the Rocket Arena in Ohio. (The Knicks eventually won the series, bringing them to the NBA Finals.)

How Many American Music Awards Does Taylor Swift Have?

In 2022, Swift became the most-awarded artist in AMAs history, with a record-breaking 40 wins throughout her career.

West Wilson seems unfazed by his “Summer House” co-star, Ciara Miller, and her accusations against him. In a new episode of his “Show Me Something” podcast, the Missouri native opened up about his surprising romantic relationship with Amanda Batula and how the negative attention has affected him.

Part 1 of the “Summer House” reunion airs tonight, May 26, on Bravo. According to a previous report from The Blast, Miller takes aim at Wilson and Batula over their new relationship.

In the teaser, Miller, who dated Wilson back in 2023 and had been friends with Batula since 2020, told Batula that Wilson was only hooking up with her to “embarrass me.”

“He wants to embarrass me. He wants to get his last little words in. And I hope it works, because he’s with you to spite me,” Miller said.

However, Wilson said that her claims about him are simply untrue.

West Wilson Says Miller’s Accusations Aren’t ‘Worth Reacting To’

Regarding his reunion performance, Wilson said, “I was a deer in the headlights for a lot of it” before responding to Miller’s above claims about him.

“I was just like, why is that something I would ever do? That’s the thing with this reality TV sh-t. So many people interpret things differently. If I tried to fight everyone’s different opinion on sh-t I’ve done, I would be f-cking dead and on the floor. It’s just not worth reacting to sh-t like that. But [that’s] obviously not the case,” Wilson said.

West Wilson Says It Was ‘Hard To Finish My Thoughts’ At The ‘Summer House’ Reunion

Elsewhere in the “Show Me Something” episode, Wilson spoke with his co-host about the timeline of his relationship with Batula. (The pair announced their relationship in March 2026 after months of speculation.)

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the pair wrote in a joint Instagram statement at the time. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

According to Wilson, while he attempted to address the “false narratives” circulating about him, filming the reunion was a bit of a challenge.

“I did feel like it was hard to finish most of my thoughts, but the main one was that anything was happening during the summer. Everyone watches that back now and is like, ‘They’re all over each other.’ I do think we made it clear that wasn’t happening,” he said.

He added, “Everything else is up for interpretation, but I mostly just tried to apologize and hope it comes across. I’m not known to be a strong reunion player, so you just kind of get through it.”

Wilson Says He’s Been In ‘Survival Mode’ Over The Last Two Months

Wilson also took a moment to share how he’s been handling the amount of negative attention following him and Batula over the last several weeks, saying it feels like he’s been in “survival mode.”

“I was just trying to survive and keep it moving and stay distracted. I kind of have run out of steam the last few weeks. I’ve had a lot of time to think and reflect,” he said.

Wilson went on to acknowledge the hurt he’s caused Miller and Batula’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, before addressing his behavior in the last few episodes of “Summer House.”

“Even though there’s so much gray area up for interpretation, at least with Ciara and I … the end of summer, we were canoodling again. I told [my co-star] I wasn’t trying to be a boyfriend or whatever. I think it’s still a shock to the system, and people feel betrayed. I’m not trying to convince anyone that their feelings don’t matter,” he said.

Where Does Miller Stand With Batula Today?

According to a previous report from The Blast, Miller recently shed light on where she stands with Batula. When asked whether she was 100% done with her, Miller said, “Yeah, for sure.”

She added, “For sure. I wouldn’t do this to my worst enemy.”

Part 1 of the “Summer House” reunion airs tonight, May 26, at 8 PM EST on Bravo.

Remember that plot point in Jurassic Park about extracting dinosaur blood from ancient mosquitoes that were trapped in amber millions of years ago? Certain films are like that, and revisiting them is like stepping into memories from a lifetime ago. When you revisit these movies, you get more than the usual reassuring wave of nostalgia. You get to touch the still-warm blood of who you were when you first watched the film and (at least, until the credits roll) bring a version of your past self, happy and carefree, into the roaring chaos of the present day.   

For me, the ultimate example of this phenomenon is Ghost World (2001). It’s a movie I fell in love with when I was a lot like its characters: too smart and too smart-mouthed for my own good, hoping that enough wit and sarcasm could hide the fact that I was terrified about figuring out what to do with my life. It’s somewhat bittersweet to return to the film with the sobering knowledge that growing up is a lie. You never figure out exactly what you’re supposed to do or who you’re supposed to be. But for anyone who wants to escape into the past with the smartest, sexiest film you’ve never seen, Ghost World is now streaming for free on Tubi.

Sick, Grad World

The premise of Ghost World is that two young girls (played by Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson) have just completed high school and don’t know what to do with the rest of their lives. Young Enid must complete a remedial art class, but she and her toxic bestie still find the time to prank a sad man (played by Steve Buscemi) who posts a personal ad trying to reach a woman he recently met. This kicks off a very unconventional friendship between Enid and a man two and a half times her age, but her carefree drama eventually threatens to destroy both their lives.

Ghost World is a brilliant adaptation of the Daniel Clowes comic of the same name. As such, the movie lends itself to a very breezy, episodic structure. While Enid’s strange friendship with sad sack Seymour is the narrative anchor, the movie finds plenty of time to showcase her bizarre, slice-of-life adventures with Rebecca. Sometimes, this includes watching a shirtless dude practicing his nunchuck skills and shocking people with the Batgirl helmet she snagged from the local sex shop. Other times, it includes shocking people with hilariously vulgar language. Much of this dialogue would get you instantly canceled today, but for Gen X and Millennial audiences, that’s just part of this film’s quirky, throwback charm.  

How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?

While Ghost World is impeccably written, it’s the pitch-perfect cast that really brings each insane character to life. There are some sublime choices for the supporting cast, including charismatic character actor Patrick Fischler as a video store clerk and comedy legend David Cross as a pushy vinyl enthusiast. Illeana Douglas, meanwhile, does an impeccable job of playing the kind of teacher you love to hate. Finally, the late, great Brad Renfro is the perfect audience surrogate as the friend and put-upon convenience store worker bouncing uncomfortably between the chaos of his two messiest friends.

Speaking of which, the messy relationship at the heart of Ghost World is believable largely because of the chemistry between Thora Birch and Scarlett Johannsenn. A teenage ScarJo is compelling as a young woman trying to build her future with a friend still rooted firmly in the past. As our hilarious lead, Thora Birch quickly establishes that American Beauty was no fluke and that she’s one of the most talented actresses in Hollywood. Surrounded by such a quirky young cast, Buscemi dials down some of his usual weirdness, allowing him to perfectly embody the beleaguered everyman who gets caught up in the hypnotically weird, eternally unpredictable miasma of teenage melodrama.

Teenage Wasteland

Part of why Ghost World works so well is that it’s the anti-coming-of-age story. The film is tempestuous in its own moods, careening from restless hyperfixations on trivial matters to existential ennui at the drop of the hat. In that way, it mirrors the plight of its young protagonists who now realize they must answer a question they’ve been hearing for years: what do you want to do with the rest of your life? Like all teens, though, they can’t plan for tomorrow because they don’t know who they are today, giving the film an electric tension that crackles through even the simplest scenes.

If you’re still having trouble understanding what Ghost World is about, don’t worry: that’s a feature, not a bug. Director Terry Zwigoff (who would later bring us the relentlessly raunchy Bad Santa) has captured the vibe of the Daniel Clowes comic well enough that this film has multitudes. You can enjoy it as a time capsule of your own lost youth, the perfect balm to the aches (and not just the ones in your back) of getting older. But you can also enjoy it as a poignant meditation on the intersection of sex, youth, and identity. Alternatively, you can simply enjoy it for scene after scene of the darkest, weirdest comedy ever put on film.

Care to set foot into a simpler world of existentialist Millennial whimsy? Relive the unique dread of planning your entire life when you can’t even plan your weekend? Maybe you just want to lose your sh*t at one Thora Birch stinger after another. For all these reasons and more, now is the perfect time to watch Ghost World on Tubi. You can stream this coming-of-anxiety film for free on Tubi. The money you save may one day fuel your real passion: becoming the kind of vinylhead so weird that local teenagers treat you like a zoo attraction just waiting to be put down.

Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers for May 25-June 5, 2026 stun as Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) raging over a betrayal. Plus, Abe Carver (James Reynolds) confesses something startling.

We’re going to get into the spoilers for the two weeks of May 25th through June 5th, including more fallout for Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) grieving and angry, and so much more.

Monday, May 25th on Days of Our Lives: Brand-New Episode

Monday, May 25th, it is Memorial Day, but we don’t have a rerun because we are on streaming. That’s actually one of my favorite things about them being on Peacock. No preemptions. Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) have a serious talk about their kids on Monday. So, looks like they’re back to Salem for Abigail Deveraux (Marci Miller) four-year deathiversary. And things are getting tense.

Jack has got to mention to Jen that he went to see Gwen and wants her to be part of their lives this week. Looks like Jen is comparing their kids, Abby and JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss), to cupcakes, vanilla, and chocolate. Meanwhile, Jack’s wife probably considers Gwen a crap cake rather than something more tasty and appealing.

And I just wonder if Jack’s going to man up and stand up for his right to have a relationship with his other daughter. JJ is also back to Salem, likely for his sister Abby’s deathiversary. If you remember, JJ left town to clear his head. He left the Salem PD after he froze during a confrontation. He didn’t fire at a killer when he should have. And that is why Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) wound up shot.

DOOL Spoilers: Amy Choi Devastated

Amy is crushed by what is recovered from the river. So, I suspect it may be Sophia Choi‘s (Rachel Boyd) body. And this week, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) is in uniform for Memorial Day. He’s in his Marines uniform. Those are so handsome. I love those dress blues. He’s up at the pub and tells Amy he is very sorry for her loss. And again, I love they’re doing a nod to Memorial Day with so many characters that were veterans over the years.

Philip opens up to Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Sure, it’s about Gabi’s treachery and spying that nearly toppled Titan, but will Brady join Philip in hating on Gabi or recommend calm? Gabi and Gwen share tea and sympathy. Or maybe it’s margaritas and malice. Gabi is upset that Philip dumped her but also mad at herself.

And Gwen’s upset at Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and also at EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). And if Gwen figures out Xander’s two-timing her with Crazy Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), I think she will definitely lose it. Sarah wants Xander to reconsider moving in. She wants him to change his mind. Sarah kisses Brady in front of Xander this week, and Sarah might be deliberately provoking him, so Xander won’t stay there.

Days of our Lives Spoilers for Tuesday, May 26th: Sarah & Xander Fess Up

Tuesday, May 26th, Xander and Sarah admit some difficult truths. Obviously, they still love each other, and it’s hard for them to see people with them when they do still have those feelings. Jennifer talks about a truce with Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord). Obviously, Jennifer still hates Cat, but since they’re both in Salem, civility is helpful, and this could put a foot in the door that grows into a chance for Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) and Cat to date down the road.

EJ tells Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) that Tony DiMera (Thaao Phenglis) is planning to oust him as CEO, and EJ is going to tell him that Tony offered the job to Gabi. And of course, that upset EJ who offered to take the job himself. But Johnny’s attention may soon be divided because this week Sarah calls Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) and says her biopsy results are in.

But Sarah won’t tell Chanel over the phone and she tells her to come to the hospital and to bring Johnny. And that sounds very ominous. Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) are hanging out as co-parents and are bonding over adorable little Kelsey.

Days Spoilers for Wednesday, May 27th: Gabi Has a Heart-to-Geart with Ari

Then on Wednesday, May 27th, Gabi opens up to Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia). I’m guessing it’s about Philip. And I wonder if Gabi will tell Ari the truth about her dodgy corporate spying because Gabi just did Ari dirty, paying off Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop). And I bet it’s going to bite Gabi soon. Amy Choi wants vengeance this week. She’s talking to somebody up at the pub. Maybe her husband Jason Choi (Steven O Young).

And Amy says she wants Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) prosecuted for manslaughter. Tate Black (Leo Howard) is pressing Holly to do the right thing. And it may be about Sophia’s memorial because it looks like they are going. Tate is in a suit and tie, which we rarely see him in, and Holly is in a nice conservative black dress. So, right after Amy says she wants her arrested, Tate and Holly walk into the pub, and they may actually overhear what Amy is saying, and that may really worry Tate.

Marlena Evans (Diedre Hall) puts EJ under hypnosis again. And I wonder if he will recall things about him and Cat, you know, that maybe she’s also forgotten. Right now though, EJ really is a smitten kitten and he just wants, I don’t know, some kind of positive sign that they have a history and that he belongs with Cat. Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) is upset and she is getting some comfort from her stepson Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson). No doubt it’s about leaving Abe so he can be with Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford)

Days Spoilers for Thursday, May 28th: Johnny & Chanel are Hopeful

Thursday, May 28th, Chanel and Johnny share a moment of hope. I wonder if there is some treatment option. You know, maybe they can take the lump out surgically or they can wait on treatment until Chanel gives birth. A new hunk pops up in Salem. It’s Gus (Michael Ocampo), who is Javi’s new boyfriend.

He’s on the way to meet Gus when Javi runs into Leo. Abe tells Theo the truth about something. And I wonder if this is about him loving Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) and not wanting to let her go. Lexie wants answers from her brother EJ. And I wonder if she will be upset or thrilled that Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) kept her alive so EJ could bring her back one day.

Days of our Lives Spoilers Friday, May 29th: Eli Consoles Lani

Then on Friday, May 29th, we’ve got Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) comforting Lani Price (Sal Stowers). I’m sure she’s upset about the Chanel cancer stuff and the Paulina and Abe split. The Lexie thing is going to rock Lani, too. And I’m sure Eli as well. I am so glad that Lamon Archey is back. Two days. That’s exciting stuff for me. Plus, Foster asks Julie out for dinner.

And I wonder if this is going to be a sweet new romance. I mean, I don’t think it’s going to be a torrid thing or anything, but maybe friends and more. Holly shares with Sarah that she is struggling emotionally, and Marlena gets support as she faces John’s death anniversary.

Technically, John died on June 2nd, which is next Tuesday. Marlena goes to John’s grave with flowers and sits with him. And that same day, Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Brady are playing with the chess set that Stefano left John. And Brady is looking at the queen piece. And then Belle notices there’s a piece missing. And of course, it is a pawn. Spoilers say that Brady and Belle make a discovery. So maybe there’s something hidden in the case or inside the queen chess piece.

Week of June 1st-5th on Days of Our Lives: Marlena’s New Mystery

The week of June 1st through the 5th, we may be starting a whole new puzzling mystery tied to Marlena’s chess set that Stefano left for John. Gwen is going to be stunned when she finds out Xander and Kristen are bumping private parts. Gwen and Xander had that no strings attached thing, but she also considers Kristen a friend.

So, I’m sure Gwen is going to see this as a double betrayal, especially since Xander just blew off Gwen when she asked him to be more than just a source of cheeky fun. Leo may turn to Marlena for comfort and advice after seeing Gus with Javi because Leo may need to vent a little bit.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Abby’s Family Remembers Her on the Anniversary of Her Death

Plus, Jack, Jennifer, and JJ are going to gather for Abby’s death anniversary. And I wonder if there’s going to be some talk among them about finding her remains that have been missing for so long. And I do wonder if Jack and Jennifer are going to ask Chad if he talked to EJ about whether it would be possible to resurrect Abigail like he did Lexie. But if EJ is telling the truth, then the answer is no. But how often does EJ actually tell the unfiltered truth?

So, I’m very suspicious that he might have Abby in a person pod. Ari may find out why Liam and his son Gage are getting ready to leave town and Gabi’s gonna be in big trouble for paying off the guy that Ari’s crushing on. Plus, some more fallout from Philip finding out that Gabi screwed over Titan.

The Fast and Furious franchise has proven that a good racing movie can provide plenty of great rewatch value. Features like Christian Bale’s Ford vs. Ferrari, Jason Statham‘s Death Race, Asif Kapadia’s Senna, Chris Hemsworth’s Rush, Tom Cruise’s Days of Thunder, and many more are a testament to the fact that the audience is always in for a ride when the characters are compelling, and the environment is immersive.

Last year, Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski’s F1 saw success executing the same tropes while providing a highly immersive experience thanks to IMAX screens and Hans Zimmer‘s compelling soundtrack. Not only did the sports drama become a commercial success by earning $634 million worldwide, but it also received critical acclaim, earning nominations and winning multiple awards at the Oscars, the Critics’ Choice Awards, and the British Academy Film Awards.

But before F1 created a wave, an underrated racing movie moved the needle with its cinematography and story. Neill Blomkamp’s 2023 biographical sports epic and loose video game adaptation, Gran Turismo, seamlessly blended an underdog story with a high-octane racing dream. Starring Archie Madekwe as real-life racer Jann Mardenborough, who successfully transitioned from playing Gran Turismo to racing on track. Playing Jann’s cynical, tough-love trainer is Stranger Things icon and MCU star David Harbour.

Based on real-life events, we follow a working-class teenager, Jann, who spends his days mastering the Gran Turismo driving simulator. Things take a turn when he enters the GT Academy, a real-world marketing contest created by Nissan and PlayStation to turn the world’s best virtual gamers into actual, track-certified professional race car drivers.

Gran Turismo Has Brilliant Visuals

Though underrated, the feature is loved for its compelling performances by Madekwe, Harbour, and Orlando Bloom as Danny, an idealistic, fast-talking Nissan Motorsports marketing executive who conceptualizes the GT Academy. Blomkamp brought a highly kinetic, visceral energy to the racing sequences by employing video game aesthetics, like vehicle customization graphics, and specific camera angles over real-life race tracks. The visuals, combined with high-octane races and seamless execution, make the movie a great watch and very easy to understand even for casual onlookers. It greatly divided its audiences on Rotten Tomatoes: critics gave it a 65% rating, whereas audiences gave it a near-perfect 98% rating. Nonetheless, the feature was a moderate commercial success, earning $122 million on a modest $60 million budget. For audiences who’d like to check out the film for the first time or revisit it, the time is right as Gran Turismo is coming to HBO Max on June 1.

Stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.

West Wilson revealed that he and Amanda Batula are “doing our best” to have a normal relationship amid the Summer House drama.

“Going out in public is kind of scary,” West, 31, admitted during the Monday, May 25, episode of his “Show Me Something” podcast. “There have been so many f***ing stupid f***ing posts on the internet. Once it got to AI ones and s***, I was like, ‘OK, let’s talk about these.’”

West addressed one rumor that Amanda, 34, is “wearing all my clothes.” He went item by item, shutting down the speculation that Amanda had on West’s striped shirt in one now-viral image.

“People do wear striped shirts,” he said. “People just post anything, and it works. A lot of people have been like, ‘She wears your clothes all the time.’ We actually do dress the same.”

West also denied internet speculation that Amanda has been wearing wigs during their public outings.

Amanda and West confirmed in late March that they are more than friends after weeks of rumors. Their budding romance came after Amanda’s separation from fellow Summer House star Kyle Cooke. Amanda was also best friends with Ciara Miller, who dated West in 2023.

During Monday’s podcast, West also denied a social media post claiming that he was discussing getting a Tom Sandoval redemption arc going forward.

“Knowing all my friends that I have a group chat with, they don’t know who the f*** Tom Sandoval is,” he said. “That is not what we talk about in our f***ing group text.”

West added, “It’s not that crazy, it’s just, like, someone made up that they are in a group chat with me.”

“Jenn was pissed. Jenn made a video being like, ‘West is so nice. He’s not trying to hurt anyone, blah blah blah blah blah,’” he said. “I don’t think [Ciara would] make it up, but I’m sure she believes it. That’s a crazy thing to just post.”

Jenn has continued to vehemently deny that anything happened between her and West.

“In all seriousness, and while I can’t help but be a little flattered, it is not nice nor is it OK to post something categorically untrue and defamatory on social media,” she shared via Instagram on May 9. “Regardless of whatever rumors or apparent ‘evidence’ led you to that conclusion, that is the definition of libel.”
