No surprise here as Taylor Swift leads the field of 2015 American Music Awards nominees. The star scored six nods, including artist of the year, album of the year and song of the year for “Blank Space.” The Weeknd is right behind her with five nominations, including artist and album of the year, and because everything is stupid and existence is just a comedy of errors he also nabbed a look for new artist of the year. Ed Sheeran also landed five nominations.

The AMAs are decided by fan votes, so hit the ballots for your faves here. Jennifer Lopez hosts and will perform at the ceremony this year, which airs live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on November 22 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
