BTS received three nominations for the 2026 American Music Awards, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Summer for “Swim,” and Best Male K-Pop Artist. The nominations were announced ahead of the May 25, 2026 ceremony in Las Vegas.
Context and quick notes:
- Artist of the Year is the marquee category; BTS has competed for this prize before and was a contender in 2021.[1][7]
- Their “Swim” track is highlighted as Song of the Summer, reflecting strong global reception after their ARIRANG album release.[2][4]
- The AMAs voting period runs through early May, with the show airing on CBS and via Paramount+ on May 25, 2026.[4][9]
