The 2015 American Music Awards already have a host in Jennifer Lopez, and all that was missing before Tuesday (Oct. 13) were the nominees. But, then Joe Jonas and Charlie Puth popped up on Good Morning America to announce the nominees. Unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift leads the pack with six nods thanks to 1989.
Swift leads in all the major categories, with nods for Artist of the Year, Song of the Year ("Bad Blood"), Collaboration of the Year ("Bad Blood") and Favorite Album Pop/Rock (1989), according to People. Of course, she is not the only multiple nominee. Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Luke Bryan, Sam Smith, The Weeknd and more are also up for more than one award.
