No, it will take states representing 270 electoral votes to agree that they will vote in the electoral college for the winner of the popular vote. That's a law that has been already passed by states with 163 votes.

That could happen sooner than a constitutional amendment, although I don't suppose the current swing states will want to give up their power to choose the president anytime soon.
