Fans online have reacted to Billie Eilish winning the Favorite Touring Artist award at the American Music Awards 2025. She won seven awards at the ceremony, held at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday, May 26.
Billie Eilish beat Taylor Swift, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and Zach Bryan in the category of Favorite Touring Artist. She won it for Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour. She also won the Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, among other awards.
Some people online, however, believe Billie Eilish didn't deserve the Favorite Touring Artist over the likes of Taylor Swift. One X (formerly Twitter) user mentioned the latter's Eras Tour and commented:

"Over The Eras Tour? The payola was THERE"
"Billie no disrespect but taylor swift had the biggest tour of all time," another user wrote.
"I think Billie 100% deserves, but I do find it a bit strange for Taylor to not win following the Eras tour… especially considering the Swifties actually know how to vote too… idk," another commented.
There were several positive reactions as well, as one user wrote:
"hmhas [Hit Me Hard And Soft] tour you’ll always be famous"
"if you’ve seen her live, you know why she’s the BEST, HMHAS tour is iconic and it deserves all the love!," another user commented.
"So very deserved, congrats to this queen!" another wrote.
Taylor Swift was notably nominated in six categories at the American Music Awards 2025 but didn't win any awards.

Thank you to the AMAs, thank you to the fans, I know you voted for this. This means the world to me. I am so lucky to get to do what I do, and to do it with you!
