The amazing Gen 4 stars made their American Music Awards debut, and TXT's fanbase MOAs were thrilled to witness them. At the AMAs on November 21, the members made their red carpet-debut. They looked chic, sporting black, grey tones and fur. Yeonjun and Taehyun, in particular, caught people's attention when they revealed themselves to be loyal Swifties as they captured Taylor Swift presenting her victory speech at the 2022 AMAs. Yeonjun and Taehyun even praised Taylor Swift's "Sunbaenim" for her huge haul at the 2022 AMAs when they held a live for MOAs, following the awards night. For the unfamiliar, "Sunbaenim" is a phrase used in Korean to describe someone working in the same profession but with far more expertise. It was a particularly poignant occasion given that Taehyun had expressed his love for Taylor Swift and his desire to meet her in the future. 

Meanwhile, fans online were enthralled by the exhilarating moment between TXTs and Taylor Swift. "Taylor Sunbaenim" has since been trending on Twitter.
