Menurut prediksi laman Forbes, Swift, yang meraih enam nominasi, siap melibas nomine lain di kategori bergengsi, seperti Artist Of The Year dan Song Of The Year. Ia bersaing melawan sahabatnya sendiri, Ed Sheeran, juga The Weeknd, yang meraih lima nominasi.

Nominasi AMA dibuat berdasarkan hasil penjualan album dan digital, juga penyiaran via radio, streming, aktivitas sosial dan data tur konser, sesuai data Billboard, Nielsen Entertainment dan Next Big Sound.
 
Fans juga bisa berpartisipasi dengan cara voting via media sosial sebelum 11 November 2015. Pengumuman AMA digelar di Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, Minggu, 22 November 2015, dan disiarkan secara langsung via jaringan televisi ABC.

Perhelatan AMA siap dipandu penyanyi dan aktris seksi Jennifer Lopez. Swift sendiri tak asing dengan AMA. Sebelumnya, ia telah belasan kali meraih penghargaan ini. Tiga di antaranya untuk kategori Artis of The Year.

AMA diproduksi oleh Dick Clark Productions, yang masih “bersaudara” atau berada di perusahaan yang sama dengan
The Hollywood Reporter dan Billboard. Allen Shapiro dan Mike Mahan sebagai produser eksekutif AMA, juga   Larry Klein, Barry Adelman and Mark Bracco sebagai produser.
